REVOLUTIONARY CHARM

New england cruises.

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

New England's quintessential charm lines its streets — literally. 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.

City Landscape in the Northeast

Freedom to Explore

Experience the sights, sounds and flavors of the cities where America got her start. 

City Buildings in Boston

Walk Among Founding Fathers

Boston is one of the oldest cities in the country, and it has the historical landmarks to prove it. The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile walk filled with all of the rich New England history that you read about in books. You'll see the meetinghouses, churches and burial grounds that were integral parts of forming the United States.

Fenway Park in Boston

Fenway Is the Fun Way

Bring a bag of peanuts to a baseball game at Boston's famed Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox since 1912. The Fenway Park is one of the main attractions in Boston. If you're more of an art enthusiast than a sports fan, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum are both nearby.

City Buildings in Northeast  U.S.

Satisfy the Senses

Delight your eyes and taste buds by enjoying tea and popovers at the Jordan Pond House, which overlooks the mountains of Maine and Jordan Pond itself. Portland, Maine, has a reputation among foodies — it's known for the indulgent sweets at Holy Donut, the locally made Gelato Fiasco and the delectable shellfish at The Shop. If you go to Boston, the North End is a Little Italy of pasta, pastries and cafes.

Beach in Acadia National Park, Maine

Hikes and Harbors

Experience the wilder side of New England in its less tame but still exquisite north. 

Acadia National Park in Maine

All That Glitters

You can't miss taking in the sights of Acadia National Park in Maine during your vacation. Known as the Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast, it's no wonder 3.3 million people visit every year. Hike to the peak of Cadillac Mountain — the first place in the U.S. to see the sunrise between October and March — then feel the rush of ocean waves down in Thunder Hole. Finish the day with a relaxing sun soak on Sand Beach.

Lighthouse in Portland Maine

The Maine Event

Portland, Maine, is the quintessential New England town, surrounded by miles of coastline and idyllic lighthouses. Visit the coastal shops and restaurants along Commercial and Exchange Streets. You'll find artsy spots like Asia West and Sea Bags Maine filled with keepsakes and sundries. If you have the chance, head to the picturesque Portland Head Light, a lighthouse just a 15-minute drive away in Cape Elizabeth.

City Landscape from Old Quebec

Trek Further North

The north of New England, at the tail end or beginning of your adventure, you'll find Old Quebec, a 400-year-old town that oozes European romance. Take a walking tour of this UNESCO world heritage site, making sure to take in views of the Citadel, the St. Lawrence River and the Chateau Frontenac (reputed to be the most photographed hotel in the world).

New England River

Revolutionize your next adventure with a New England cruise

From stylish Quebec City to the north, to the idyllic coast of Maine and the historic streets of Boston, there's always something a new thing to do on a New England cruise.

The Coast of Quebec, Canada

NORTHERN HORIZONS

Some of Royal Caribbean's New England cruises go as far north as Quebec and St. John's in Canada, giving you the full experience of the Atlantic coast, including the world’s famous New York City .

Pier with Boats in the Northeast U.S.

ONE WEEK DOWN THE COAST

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!

Try to wake up for sunrise when you're sailing along the coast for beautiful views of the Atlantic.

When visiting Boston, the easiest way to get around is by the subway or "the T" as the locals call it.

FRESH, FRIED AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

Take advantage of New England's coastal locales by diving into some lobster rolls, oysters and clam chowder. Once you've had your fill of raw delicacies, indulge in the many fried options that the area has to offer, from donuts and cannolis to plentiful French fries.

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!

Frite Alors from Quebec

Poutine, Please

Quebec's national dish is a must-have, especially at Frite Alors. This spot has been voted as the best restaurant for its classic poutine featuring crispy fries and semi-salted fresh cheese curds. Find out for yourself why the sauce is often described as a "blanket of love."

New England Cruises

The exciting and varied itineraries that make up our New England cruise offerings are a traveler’s smorgasbord of possibilities. From April through October, you can watch the historic area of our country come alive in the Spring, enjoy the sites of Summer, or take in all the colors of Fall foliage.

Our Cruises Consider our Grand New England Trip , which packs a tremendous amount of activity across a wide and delightful range of northeastern towns and landscapes. A roundtrip cruise from Boston, Massachusetts, that calls on ports up and down the New England coastline, you’ll have the opportunity to explore Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, Newport and Bar Harbor, and more — at your leisure or as part of a guided shore excursion.

It’s an 11-day, 10-night adventure aboard the American Constitution that will also bring you up close and personal with inhabitants of the Maine coastline, such as seals, puffins — even whales if the seasons and luck are on your side. Explore New England Islands If island life is more your thing, then there’s a lot to offer in that respect, too. USA River Cruises features trips that focus on a relaxing exploration of the beautiful islands of New England . Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard both contain meadows, white sand beaches, and trails forged by generations of American Indians.

The New England Islands Cruise also features a trip to Block Island, Rhode Island, where the Mohegan Bluffs rise 150 above the ocean. According to The Nature Conservancy, Block Island is one of the ‘Last Great Places on Earth,’ 10 square miles of Northeastern bliss.

While other ports of call may claim it, New England is a boaters history paradise. The America’s Cup Hall of Fame, Summer cottages of Astors and Vanderbilts, and the nation’s first synagogue, library, church steeple, and tavern. Although you don’t have to tour the sites in that order.

After taking in the natural beauty of the area, visiting quaint island villages, hiking to your heart’s content, let us refill your tanks with all local, all fresh seafood for dinner. The islands of New England are a treat for all five senses no matter the time of year. International Tastes Looking for a little taste of the Great White North? Consider the Canada and New England Fall Foliage Cruise. Hugging the Northeastern Seaboard, ports of call include Nova Scotia capital Halifax, the site of Anne Of Green Gables, the so-called “Birthplace of Canada,” and ending in Quebec City. Birthplace of America We also offer Manhattan to Montreal Cruises that land where the Mayflower did, offer hikes through Acadia National Park, and visits to the Newport Avenue of Mansions. Our Historic Treasures of the East Coast visits Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other ports of call that were vital in the forming of America. Wherever You Want to Go, We’re There There is so much to see and do and enjoy in the New England area, so USA River Cruises offers a variety of trips from March through October to give our clients exactly what they want. From Charleston South Carolina to Canada, we have several options, spread out over eight months of the year.

Along with all of the cruises we offer in the New England area, we offer trips throughout the USA and the rest of the world. Visit the Wonders of Asia , the unfettered beauty of Alaska , the warm playas of Central America , and the history and culture of European destinations .

The American Cruise Lines offer the newest and most environmentally friendly small ships in the country. With its hospitable staff and large staterooms, you’ll be treated like royalty — which you are whenever you book a cruise with USA River Cruises!

And don’t forget: We’ve set up daily entertainment for you as performers, musicians, historians, naturalists, and others climb aboard to regale with you with entertainment and education! Interested in seeing America, North America, or the rest of the world? Contact USA River Cruises and we’ll show you the four corners of the world .
