amfc_lenny Posted April 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I was after some advice from people in the region or have done a Canada/ New England Cruise in mid to late October. Coming from the UK and with Due to family members being teachers the only date we can do in the fall, is October 19th, I'm worried weather wise and if we'd miss the autumn colours? Is there enough at the ports we'd be calling at this time of year? The cruise we were looking at sails from Newyork, going to Boston, Bar Harbour New Brunswick, Halifax and back to New York on the Regal Princess.

Rare 1025cruise Posted April 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2019 That's a great time to cruise. Fall foliage should be in full "bloom". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted April 1, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Perfect timing. But he prepared for the possibility of temps as low as 40 F in Canada and Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amfc_lenny Posted April 1, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Coming from the UK I can live with that, be interested to know what sea conditions are like in NE at that time of year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted April 2, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Keep in mind it is the end of hurricane season. No storms and you should be okay. If there's a storm, all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing the exact itinerary its hard to say but anytime you are in the open Atlantic from October on you can get a little pitch and roll. Whats nice about most of the Canada/New England itineraries is that you spend alot of time on the St Lawrence which is obviously quite sheltered when compared to the open sea.

maryann ns Posted April 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The fall colours in Nova Scotia generally peak the second week of October. You do not start your cruise until the third week. It may be better further south however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Carolyn Posted April 3, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Colors are up to mother nature😕 Have done this cruise 3 times next to last week of October. Different weather each time. One was warmest fall and leaves not so good, one it was freezing cold but color was great and one was foggy so no views. Ports are wonderful, but weather.......

Thanks, that confirmed my thoughts, that it's quite an unpredictable time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
