COLLEYBERRY Posted June 8, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Guess what I found ? A 14 day Canada / New England cruise leaving from and returning to Montreal !!! I didn't know Hal offered such an itinerary. Oct 4 Maasdam...later in the season .. the leaves will be oh so pretty Montreal is a really short flight from Toronto...or better yet take a road trip to Ottawa..visit my brother and his wife maybe convince them to come on the cruise with us...leave our car there.. one of my nieces or nephew I am sure would drive us to Montreal (only an hour from Ottawa and they love their Auntie Col :o...plus Montreal shopping is wonderful ( Montreal women have such a flare;)) so a win for them too. Just imagine a cruise with no air travel...now that is a dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted June 8, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Just imagine a cruise with no air travel...now that is a dream come true. Move to central FL and you'll have lots of choices, on HAL and several other lines! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted June 8, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2013 HAL has had the Maasdam doing that for years. And now the Veendam does 14 day round trips from Quebec City as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted June 8, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If we lived closer I would snatch that up in a heartbeat. :) We loved those ports on our 15-day East Coast/Canada cruise last spring. And now we want to do it in the fall. :D Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whogo Posted June 8, 2013 #6 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I don't like this at all. You tell us to guess what you found and then give the answer before anyone could guess. For the record, I guessed that you had found an old English penny while cleaning out your mother-in-law's attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted June 8, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 8, 2013 We've been doing 14 day cruises on Maasdam for years. Boston to Montreal to Boston. You could just as easily have been doing Montreal to Boston to Montreal. Maasdam leaves from Montreal every other Saturday and has for a long time. In previous years, Maasdam left mid July to do Voyage of the Viking and then resumed her Canada/NE itinerary. Veendam is doing the Viking cruise.

babyorca Posted June 8, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm doing this trip in July! So excited. Unfortunately won't be able to go when the leaves are their prettiest due to work but it's my first time in Atlantic Canada and I'm stoked!

hmh Posted June 8, 2013 #11 Share Posted June 8, 2013 We did this cruise in October 2011--Montreal to FLL. It went in to several smaller ports, and the people were so happy to see the ship. It was the last cruise until the next year. The only thing about Fall is that the weather is iffy. The day we went on the excursion to "Anne of Green Gables", it rained harder than in does in Oregon. The week before they said the temp had been in the 80's. We spent a beautiful day in Bar Harbor, two days later , they had the first snow of the season. We've had rain on Caribbean cruises but never snow. Enjoy the cruise--we loved it. hmh:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disfanatiks Posted June 8, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Being from FL, seeing snow on a cruise would make me dance with joy!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disfanatiks Posted June 8, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Forgot to mention....the B2B in that area is my favorite!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted June 8, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 8, 2013 We did that cruise B2B from Boston to Montreal and then back to Boston. We loved all the ports, except Sydney, and as I've mentioned many times on here, I ate lobster at almost every port. Yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than being really cold (we went in April) we liked it. We went to the Fortress of Louisburg and enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BumperII Posted June 9, 2013 #16 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Anyway you go at it, these are fantastic cruises. We have done the b2b out of Boston twice as well as doing the Atlantic Coast up to Montreal twice. Yes, Yes, this is a great time to eat your fill of lobster and enjoy the natural beauty of this part of the continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluwater7 Posted June 9, 2013 #17 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Sydney - tour to the mines Museum was very good IMO - a real eye opener to how the coal mining towns run. Runs true to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
