REVOLUTIONARY CHARM

New england cruises.

Fall in love with New England's enchanting foliage, historic landmarks and small-town culture.

Each of the six states that comprise the region is unique, but New England's shared history can be felt in both its small towns and its bustling cities. Cruise to New England and wind your way through cobblestone streets dotted with antique lampposts and colonial homes. Take a trip to Maine and hike your way through Acadia National Park, known for its stunning granite cliffs and rocky beaches along the Atlantic coastline. Then make your way further south to the old seaside town of Portland, a haven for artists, foodies and water lovers alike. Walk the Freedom Trail in Boston to learn about the American Revolution in the very places it began.

A one-week cruise through New England will allow you to visit all of the can't-miss cities along the coast, from Quebec to Bar Harbor and even down to Boston .

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO See New England Like a Local

Autumn is one of the best times to visit New England, with comfortable temperatures, crisp air and colorful fall foliage. Most New England cruises start, stop or finish in Canada, so make sure you have both Canadian and U.S. currency on hand. Depending on the season during your New England cruise, you'll need different clothes and footwear. Make sure to pack comfortable walking shoes as many New England ports are best experienced on foot. Packing layers is a good idea when visiting the region too. In the summer months, the weather can cool down at night so it's always best to have a sweater or light jacket on hand!

Traditional Italian Cannoli from a Boston Pastry

Holy Cannoli

Once you've made it to Boston, you must try the delicious chocolate chip cookies at Chipyard located in Faneuil Hall. Another must-try are the cannolis at Modern Pastry in the North End, but be prepared to wait — these are not Boston's best-kept secret.

Fresh Oysters on a Plate

A Shucking Fun Time

Fresh fish and seafood is plentiful in Maine, especially in Portland. Head to The Shop, a raw bar and shellfish shop. The oysters are hand-picked daily — only the best for their customers!

Over hills and down vales in the national parks of New Hampshire and Maine

Enjoy the delights of the gentle way of life of Martha's Vineyard

Enjoy the delights of the gentle way of life of Martha's Vineyard

Less well-known than its neighbour Cape Cod , the island of Martha’s Vineyard – or simply the Vineyard – is one of the pearls of New England . A favourite holiday destination of American presidents, who've been attracted by its tranquil calmness and mild oceanic climate since the 1960s, the island is also home to picturesque architectural treasures, ranging from the white houses of Edgartown to the toothed roofs of the colourful residences of the former Methodist community of Oak Bluffs – a charming "gingerbread village" like something straight out of Hansel and Gretel .

Strolling and wandering the old town of New Orleans

Strolling and wandering the old town of New Orleans

Founded ex nihilo in 1718, New Orleans stands at the heart of the Louisiana bayou between the banks of the Mississippi and the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Sometimes languid, sometimes frenetic, but always festive and full of life, The Big Easy , as it's also known, is one of the most fascinating cities in the United States. Both the cradle of jazz and blues and the birthplace of Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet, the city positively gleams with its cosmopolitan identity. From the French Quarter – the courtyards, fountains, gardens and wrought iron balconies of which bear witness to a rich colonial past – to the streets of the traditionally authentic and Bohemian neighbourhood of Faubourg Marigny, an enchanting melting pot of European, Native American, African, Creole and Cajun influences come together, granting New Orleans a wonderfully endearing soul.

Explore Everglades National Park in southern Miami

Explore Everglades National Park in southern Miami

Six thousand square kilometres of wet meadows and marshes populated with cypress, mangrove and pine: Everglades National Park , at the southern tip of Florida, makes up the largest natural subtropical habitat on the North American continent. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park extends like a long river of grass flowing out to the sea from inland. This is one of the richest – and most fragile – ecosystems in the world, providing an important refuge for several hundred species of birds, mammals, fish and reptiles. Included amongst these are 36 endangered species, such as the Florida panther , the American crocodile and the West Indian manatee .

Immerse yourself in the cultural and artistic melting pot of the streets of Miami

Immerse yourself in the cultural and artistic melting pot of the streets of Miami

Sitting at the crossroads of the Americas and the Caribbean , between the national parks of the Everglades and Biscayne, Miami stands out as the very symbol of a multicultural Florida. It goes without saying that Miami is, of course, the endless sands of Miami Beach , dotted with those iconic lifeguard towers and washed by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic. But Miami is also the warm, friendly atmosphere of Little Havana and the high-class luxury of Coconut Grove . There are the Art Deco wonders of the South Beach neighbourhood, with its pastel-coloured apartment blocks and whimsical architecture. And then there are the immense murals of the Wynwood Art District, a global Mecca for street art . Multifaceted, diverse and highly colourful, Miami stands out as one of the most creative cities of the US East Coast.

Quirky facts and insights

Key West , lying 200 kilometres from the continental mainland at the extreme tip of the Florida Keys archipelago, is the most southern point of the United States (excluding Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean). The island is in fact closer to Cuba, and the inhabitants of Key West have no hesitation in marking themselves out as different from their American compatriots. In 1982, as an act of protest against a road blockade set up by the US authorities, they declared their independence by creating a micronation named the Conch Republic .

In Florida, fish and seafood , particularly crabs and oysters, are especially popular. Alligator meat (farmed), a somewhat more unusual and exotic option, is also widely available. Cuban and Puerto Rican cuisine , imported by the region's sizeable communities of people with a background in these countries, also form part of the local culinary landscape. One particularly notable speciality is the Cuban sandwich: ham, grilled pork and melted cheese on soft white bread.

Myths and legends

Maori has a rich mythology. Of all the legends told, the creation story is one of the best-known. In the beginning there was Rangi-nui (the Sky), who joined together with Papa-tuanuku (the Earth). Their constant embrace plunged the world into darkness. Fed up with the lack of light, their children decided to separate them. Pushing with all his might, Tane-mahuta (the guardian of the forest and the birds) managed to part them. In doing so, he injured his mother. Blood poured onto the Earth for the first time, dyeing New Zealand's soil red. This is why all Maori sites are ochre. Sad to no longer be alongside his wife, the Sky began to cry and rain fell for the first time, filling up the oceans.

In the spotlight

Kiwi birds are so symbolic of New Zealand that New Zealanders are called "kiwis". These birds are one of the species on the island that are especially endangered. Being unable to fly, kiwi populations have decreased sharply in recent years. The government has launched a plan to increase their numbers from 70,000 to 100,000 by 2030. Measures include extending the protected areas where they live, managing predators better and furthering knowledge about the five kiwi species.

Books. Florida , by Jean Dytar, tells the story of a little-known episode in the history of colonisation. Written in the form of a graphic novel, it deals with the tragic fate of a group of French colonists, the Huguenots, who set out for Florida at the end of the 16th century with the aim of conquering the New World. Very few of them would survive the tropical climate and the famine they encountered. Amongst the few who did survive this expedition was the cartographer Jacques le Moynes, who opted to set up home in England with his wife and two children instead – a decision that enabled him to escape the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre but not the vague colonialist desires of the nations of Europe.

Music. Music is an integral part of the cultural landscape of Florida. The existing Afro-American heritage was added to in the 1960s by Latin music imported by Cubans and Haitians: salsa, bachata, merengue, zouk, calypso… Disco then enjoyed a wave of popularity in Miami in the 1970s, followed later by hip hop.

Film. In The Departed (2006), Martin Scorsese used the streets of the Charlestown and Chinatown neighbourhoods of Boston as the setting for a drama in which the police and the mob play a dangerous double game. Starring Leonardo Di Caprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg, this great film brought together a stellar cast.

Facts and figures

Founded in 1630 , Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Cambridge, a city in the Boston metropolitan area, has the notable distinction of being the home of Harvard University, which was first established in 1636 and is the oldest higher education institution in the entire country.

American Cruise Lines making multiple stops in Portsmouth in 2024: What to expect

PORTSMOUTH — American Cruise Lines has confirmed it will be making four stops this summer and fall at the Market Street Terminal.

The cruise line company’s first stop at the Port of New Hampshire near downtown Portsmouth will arrive on July 8, according to Myles Greenway, the Pease Development Authority’s interim director of ports and harbors.

That will be followed by stops in the popular tourist city on July 22, Aug. 17 and Oct. 2, according to a memo from Greenway to the PDA’s Board of Directors.

“The vessels are expected to be docked from between 24 to 48 hours at each visit,” Greenway said.

American Cruise Lines, headquartered in Connecticut, operates 18 vessels along a variety of waterways nationwide, including Puget Sound, the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean along the East Coast from Maine to Florida.

The stops in Portsmouth will be part of its Grand New England Cruise, which starts and ends in Boston, with other stops that include Portland, Maine, Gloucester and Provincetown, Massachusetts, and Newport, Rhode Island, according to the company’s website.

More visits to come

Alexa Paolella, the public relations manager for the company, said “American Cruise Lines is so pleased to be visiting Portsmouth in 2024 with our small U.S.-built ships.”

Their ships carry between “just 90-180 guests each,” she said. “We look forward to more visits in the years to come."

Eric Dussault, the director of port operations for American Cruise Lines, previously stated the company offers “small ship cruising.”

“When they hear about cruise ships, people get this notion of 4,000 people being dumped into a downtown,” he said. “That’s not us. We’re really a boutique experience.”

For someone who hasn’t experienced an American Cruise Lines cruise, he said there’s a strong focus on “customer service and attention to detail.”

“With only 100 guests on board, you really get to know the people,” he said.

Cruise ship stops brings tourists without cars to Portsmouth

Reached Thursday, Portsmouth Mayor Deaglan McEachern noted there have been efforts to bring cruise ships to Portsmouth “for a long time.”

“It’s exciting to see this is actually coming to fruition,” McEachern said.

He called the arrival of the American Cruise Line boats to the Market Street terminal, “a pretty big occurrence for Portsmouth.”

He noted that Portsmouth is a “port city with a working port," adding, “We’ve got a Clipper ship as a mascot.”

“We certainly want to celebrate them coming up,” McEachern said.

He pointed out that with all the historic city has to offer, “sometimes we fail to appreciate how beautiful Portsmouth is seeing it from the (Piscataqua) river.”

“That’s a special thing and it should be celebrated by our seaside community,” McEachern said.

In practical terms, having people come into Portsmouth to visit the city on a boat, means “we’ll have tourists here who don’t have cars,” he said. “So they won’t be taking up parking spots and that’s a win for the city."

He acknowledged “there’s always concerns when something new happens,” but he believes the scale of American Cruise Lines’ boats “seems to fit Portsmouth.”

“I think this is going to be a positive outcome for Portsmouth,” the mayor said.

Portsmouth pleased to be a destination

Ben VanCamp, the president of the Chamber Collaborative of Greater Portsmouth, believes the visits by American Cruise Lines “are going to be a pretty positive thing for our community.”

“American Cruise Lines is pretty selective,” when it comes to adding new stops, VanCamp said.

“It’s a compliment to our community they’ve chosen us,” he said. “The other stops along the New England coast are all great destinations.”

At the same time, he stated Portsmouth hosts groups of people coming into the city for events or conferences “all the time.”

“It’s 100 people coming to town. We do that several times a week,” he said, while adding, “We welcome them and we’re excited to have them here. There’s been a lot of interest in the business community.”

VanCamp said he’s been in contact with American Cruise Line officials to suggest places for their guests to visit while in Portsmouth.

“American Cruise Lines has been great to work with, they’ve been communicating with us and the city,” VanCamp said.

The cruise line company is slated to transport its guests around the city on a “full-size bus,” he added, so chamber officials told them how to avoid tight turns on some of Portsmouth’s historic streets.

Cruise guests

American Cruise Lines guests come “from all over the country,” Dussault said in a previous interview.

“Typically our guests are folks who are older but have been well-traveled throughout their lives,” he said. “Now they want to stay closer to home and travel domestically.”

“It’s a mature, affluent clientele who comes on our cruises for the enrichment and entertainment,” Dussault said.

And they “enjoy when they come to a location that has such a vibrant downtown area, with shops and all types of restaurants,” he said.
