Seabourn Fall Cruises of Canada and New England are not Just for 'Leaf-Peepers'

Wednesday July 7, 11:02 am ET

Everything from Tall-Ship Sailing to Balloon Flights -- Plus 50 Percent Savings

 

MIAMI, July 7 -- Every autumn, the forests of the Northeast blaze with vivid reds and golds, attracting the visually-oriented visitors that locals have dubbed "leaf-peepers." While the colors are reason enough to plan a fall eastern seaboard cruise, the ultra-luxury Seabourn Pride's series of 7-day cruises between New York and Quebec offer an amazing variety of experiences to satisfy travelers with diverse interests. And the cruises are now being offered at savings of 50 percent off the published fares.

 

A survey of the optional shore excursions offered in ports of call to guests of the all-suite ship reveals a number of intriguing possibilities that might not spring immediately to mind:

 

* Hauling on the bowline as you help hoist the sails of an authentic tall ship in Halifax harbor.

* Creating a reproduction of an 18th century weapon under the guidance of a master artisan at Louisbourg Fortress near Sydney, Nova Scotia.

* Helping to launch, and then floating in a hot-air balloon over the picturesque walled city of Quebec and the St. Lawrence River.

* Riding John D. Rockefeller's scenic gravel roads on Mt. Desert Island, Maine in a horse-drawn carriage.

 

In addition, all guests are invited to enjoy a complimentary Exclusively Seabourn shoreside experience in one port of call. On Seabourn Pride Canada/New England cruises, these comprise:

 

* Experiencing a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a Victorian era regimental soldier in Halifax's hilltop Citadel.

* Attending an exclusive festival of traditional Scottish Highland Games at Cape Breton Island's Gaelic College.

 

Dozens of other optional excursions explore all aspects of the region, from art, architecture and culture to history and natural scenic beauty. The cruises also offer bountiful attractive opportunities for shopping ashore.

 

With savings of up to 50 percent, fares start from $2,998 per person, based on double occupancy of a 277-square foot ocean-view suite. One-week voyages northbound from New York to Quebec depart September 19 and October 3. Southbound voyages depart Quebec on September 26 and October 10. The voyages may be combined for a 14-day voyage visiting different ports from either New York or Quebec.
