Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- New York: Skyline views from the sail-in set the tone. Walk the High Line or take a ferry for harbour sights. Museums and neighbourhoods fill any length of stop. It’s a classic Atlantic arrival with easy transport links.
- Boston: Brick lanes and waterfront paths meet early American history. Follow the Freedom Trail or visit the fine art and science museums. Cambridge sits a short ride away for a different pace. It’s compact enough to cover highlights in a day.
- Sydney (Nova Scotia): Harbourside boardwalk and the Big Fiddle by the cruise pier. Drive to the Fortress of Louisbourg for living history. Local trails and craft shops sit close to town. It’s a friendly, straightforward call.
- Quebec City (Overnight onboard): Walled upper town, cobbles, and the St. Lawrence below. Tour the Château Frontenac area and the ramparts, then drop to Petit-Champlain. Montmorency Falls makes a tidy half-day. The overnight period provides time for evening street scenes and morning views.
- Saguenay: Deep fjord approach with high cliffs. The river museum and lookout points tell the region’s story. Trails and viewpoints sit within easy reach. It’s a scenic call from entry to exit.
- Sept-Iles: Working town facing an island chain. Boat trips to the archipelago run in season. The regional museum adds context to the coast. It’s a low-key stop with room for a short excursion.
- Halifax: Citadel Hill above a lively boardwalk. Visit the Maritime Museum and the Public Gardens. Peggy’s Cove is a popular run if time allows. It’s a clear plan: harbour, hill, and a quick trip out if you wish.
- New York: A second call invites a different neighbourhood. Try Central Park, a gallery, or a harbour cruise. Food options are endless near Midtown and downtown. It’s a flexible return before the ocean crossing.
