Fall cruises for foliage in the northeast are now becoming more and more popular as each year goes by. The foliage that is part of the tour is unlike any other place in the country. In fact, more guests are even paying good money to cruise the rivers, as well as the oceans, in order to peep leaves instead of having to brave today's highly crowded roads and hotels on land.
A Fall cruise is actually a fantastic way for that monthly R&R that people have been looking for. With the Fall cruise, guests can relax and enjoy the show without having to suffer from headaches that oftentimes go along with a land tour.
Generally, departure points are in Cape Liberty, Baltimore, New York, and Boston. Fall cruises will then head north towards Montreal or Quebec City, making short stops in Nova Scotia, Maine, Rhode Island, Newport, Prince Edward Island, and Bar Harbor.
Jean Mallory of White Travel in West Hartford has commented about the Fall cruises, "These cruises draw people from across the country. People living in the Northeast like them because they can drive to departure points without having to fly somewhere. People living outside of the Northeast come because you just don't see foliage like this anywhere else and cruising is such a great way to experience it."
Moreover, another factor that makes Fall cruises even more interesting to the public is that its itineraries always offer a very different experience, as compared to the usual Caribbean cruise experience.
Erik Elvejord, the director of public relations for Holland America Lines, said about the Fall cruises, "These cruises offer a very diverse mix of ports. Quebec has a very European feel, Halifax is very British, Prince Edward Island is so quaint, so Anne of Green Gables. Passengers get a European experience without leaving North America."
