It's more FUN in a group and traveling with artist & author, Chad Hawkins will make it that much more of an experience cruising the north end of the majestic eastern seaboard this fall.  We'll visit great historic cities leaving from NEW YORK CITY and go to BOSTON, HALIFAX, and many more beautiful cities on this Canada/New England Cruise.

The great thing about going on a cruise is being able to enjoy a feast of different landscapes, architectures, and people as you unpack once and have your "floating resort" traveling with you - and what a resort we have for you!  The Liberty of the Seas, one of Royal Caribbean's best ships is in itself, one of the destinations of this trip!  You'll experience upgraded cabins that feature such items as virtual balconies on the inside staterooms, real Broadway shows, iFLY skydiving, rock walls, Flowrider and water fountain/diving shows just to name a few.  The dining choices are superb.  You will have 15 different options onboard to experience and enjoy.

IF you decide to leave the ship, you have 5 scenic ports to enjoy:  Boston, Portland, Bar Harbor, Saint Johns, and Halifax.  As a group, we will be offering special group excursions at 3 of the 5 ports of call.  The others are yours to enjoy as you wish.

This cruise leaves from New York City, so of course we are offering you extra time to enjoy this amazing EPIC city in the fall.   Details coming soon

This cruise has something for EVERYONE and a price that can't be beat.
