DESCRIPTION:
Discover New England and Canada as you sail on Holland America's classic Amsterdam ship during peak fall foliage season! Savor the rich colors of Autumn as you cruise from New York City to Montreal for 10 nights while experiencing the fine dining and superb service that Holland America is renowned for. Explore charming and picturesque ports along the coast including Newport with its famous mansions such as the Breakers and the Elms, and Gloucester, where you can experience an exciting whale-watching adventure. In Bar Harbor, considered the quintessential New England coastal town, you'll enjoy biking or kayaking, or even participate in a lobster bake. Nova Scotia has sandy beaches and many quaint fishing villages. The port of Charlottetown is a provincial capital with a distinctly English feel: red double-decker buses motor along streets lined with gingerbread-trimmed Victorian houses and tea is served promptly at 3. The town of Saguenay, located at the tip of a magnificent fjord at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Saguenay Rivers, was a French fur-trading post in the 1600's. Visit the Fjord Museum to discover the history of the fjord, which was created by a meteorite that fell to earth over 350 million years ago. Or enjoy a visit to Ste. Rose du Nord, one of the most beautiful villages in the province of Quebec. Your last port is Quebec City, the first French city in North America. Take time to discover its maze of cobblestone streets, Parisian neighborhoods, and the trendy Grand Allee in the Lower Town with many boutiques, shops, and sidewalk cafes. This wonderful vacation comes to an end in Montreal, where you disembark the ship and return home with many fond memories!
