NY to Sydney, Canada - best weather???

[Farrlacey]

When's the best time to do a cruise between NY and Sydney, Canada? 17 Sep, 24 Sep, 1 Oct, 8 Oct...? Are we likely to hit any hurricanes?

If you were looking to see New England fall foliage, I would do the October 8 cruise; for any other reason, the New England weather can be beautiful in September and October weather the same but cooler with the chance of rain. JMHO

 

There is always a chance of a hurricane but that would not be a consideration when I booked. Make sure to buy travel insurance.

fall foliage aside - how will the weather be in June? i really want to see this itinerary but don't like cold weather cruises

 

i grew up with fall foliage before moving to CA - so i can miss the colors

 

my thought was it will not be too hot or too cold

 

anyone with experience, please share

We were in Sydney the end of September and it was starting to turn cold; very little color in the area also. But we had a great cruise!

June would be good time... 70s-low 80s when we were there... Sept was also warm one time but we did meet tail end of hurricane coming back which made for rough seas which were okay w/ me but others not so much:eek:

Was there in September as well. Must admit that I didn't have the best time there -- not an awful lot to see or do, which is unfortunate given that we were on an unscheduled overnighter there!

Fortress at Louisbourg has reduced hours in October I think..if that's consideration you might plan around that.. IMHO this is best thing to do on Sydney.. very interesting..
