Already cruised to Alaska, try New England and Eastern Canada. Read on.......
Canada and New England cruises are on the rise, eh? The cruise region -- no longer just a fall foliage spot, offering nature hikes, family-friendly bike trips and more -- is gearing up for what will likely be its busiest season ever with an increase in port calls, particularly in Maine, Massachusetts and the Canadian Maritimes.
According to ABC News, Maine will receive 54 more port calls in 2010 than it did in 2009, Newfoundland will see 84 more calls than last year, and more than 300,000 cruise passengers are due to visit Boston by year's end.
In the ship department, of particular note is the fact that Carnival has deployed 2,974-passenger Carnival Glory there this year -- the line's largest ship in the region to date.
Other major lines that sail Canada and New England itineraries include Princess, Holland America, NCL, Royal Caribbean and Carnival, calling in ports like Portland and Bar Harbor in Maine; Boston; Montreal; and St. John, New Brunswick.
