Autumn Symphony in Color - Uncommon Journeys

There are countless cruises to Canada & New England in the Fall but only a few with great style and elegance. The one offered by Uncommon Journeys this October is, quite simply, the finest of them all.

Our ship for this beautiful voyage from midtown Manhattan to downtown Montreal is the superlative Crystal Symphony, an intimate ship rated the world's best for eleven consecutive years. With stellar ports of call, this voyage has two unusual attributes that make it especially inviting: an overnight stay in New York City aboard ship with a late night departure past the skyscrapers of the Gotham, past the Statue of Liberty and under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. To have an entire day and evening onboard, just blocks from Times Square, Central Park and the best shopping on earth is a rare luxury. In Montreal, the same amenity is offered, a full day and evening aboard, using the ship as your hotel, in the heart of the second largest French-speaking city in the world, famed for its joie de vivre, cuisine and architecture.

Of course, a great ship, famed for its service, cuisine and accommodations (all staterooms are outside, most with private veranda) deserves a great beginning and our guests enjoy their first evening in New York at the most fabled hotel in the world, the legendary Waldorf-Astoria, an appropriate match for the Crystal Symphony. Nicely, the Waldorf-Astoria is only the beginning as our guests enjoy a swank bon voyage luncheon on sailing day at famed '21 Club' before boarding the ship a few blocks away! Onboard, there are first-rate lecturers, sophisticated entertainment, a choice of dining venues, a world-class fitness center & spa and all of the amenities of a luxury resort.

This cruise is a visual masterpiece from the palatial summer homes of Newport to ruggedly beautiful Nova Scotia, old world Quebec City and almost 1000 miles of inland cruising on the St Lawrence River. We invite you to join us.

Highlights

Complimentary round-trip Business Class train travel from any city east of Chicago/New Orleans to the start of the holiday in New York and home from Montreal afterwards. Guests with less time may fly to New York City and home from Montreal after the cruise for as little as $99 per person each way. Guests traveling home from Montreal by train enjoy a segment on the 'Adirondack' service, the stunningly beautiful day trip from Montreal to New York City with a daylight passage past Lake Champlain, through the Adirondacks and the Hudson River Valley, a visual feast of extraordinary beauty.
Overnight luxury stay at the fabled Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City the evening of October 4th with free time for a broadway show.
Special bon voyage sailing day luncheon at famed '21 Club' in midtown Manhattan before we board the ship.
Stylish 11-night voyage from New York City to Montreal aboard the acclaimed Crystal Symphony of Crystal Cruises, voted the world's best for eleven consecutive years. Ports of call include Newport, Rhode Island, Boston, St. John, New Brunswick, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Quebec City and Montreal. This brilliant itinerary allows guests a second overnight in New York City aboard ship before a late evening departure on October 6th, meaning guests have two full days to enjoy Manhattan. Nicely, our guests also enjoy an overnight stay onboard in Montreal, allowing plenty of time to see this great city without having to check into a hotel!
Onboard, all guests enjoy outside cabins, some of the largest afloat and many with private verandahs. Superb dining with multiple venues to choose from and no 'nickel & diming' for little indulgences like soft drinks, bottled water and specialty coffee drinks. Lavish entertainment and some of the most praised cuisine afloat not to mention a fine health & fitness center, the Creative Learning Institute and renowned lecturers make for a stimulating experience onboard.
Fully hosted by professional tour manager.
