A one-time Autumn Holiday to Atlantic Canada & New England aboard the grandest Ocean Liner afloat, Cunard’s QUEEN MARY 2.

While many ship offers Autumn voyages to Canada & New England, there is only one iconic 'Queen Mary 2', the grandest ocean liner afloat, that offers a one-time cruise this Fall with a style and opulence unmatched by any other ship afloat. Heir to the great tradition established by the original Queen Mary, the original Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Elizabeth 2, this great new Cunard liner combines a fabled 170 year heritage of seagoing excellence with all the modern amenities one would enjoy in a modern Five-star resort. Nicer still, by combining this extraordinary voyage with the world's most legendary hotel, the fabled Waldorf Astoria along with a sailing day luncheon at storied '21 Club' it is hard to find a more comfortable and civilized way to enjoy the Fall Colors. With complimentary or low-cost train travel to & from the ship from your hometown, as well as transfers and much more, we have crafted a holiday that is both convenient and a superb value. Aboard Queen Mary 2, you will enjoy the majestic Britannia Restaurant, the resplendent Royal Court Theatre, the swank Commodore Club, the Golden Lion Pub and nicest of all, the grand two deck-high Queen's Room, complete with chandeliers and big band dancing nightly to a live orchestra, as well as the only Planetarium afloat. Little touches, available on no other ship such as the best traditional Afternoon Tea daily, performances by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the largest library afloat, not to mention the Canyon Ranch Spa and acres of open deck, makes for the ultimate 'Ocean Liner Style Holiday'. With a wide choice of dining options, from casual to sophisticated, a casino, duty-free shopping and more makes 'Getting there ALL the fun'.

Lastly, our program offers a unique 'One Call Does it All' arrangement for this unique sampler voyage to Atlantic Canada. We expertly arrange your train travel with your preferred routing, your hotel stay, and your cabin choice aboard Queen Mary 2 as well as travel home after the voyage. Our entire staff has traveled on Cunard Line dozens of times and has done every Amtrak route, so there is no question we do not know the answer to. In short, this one-time voyage has only one flaw, it will sell out quickly and prompt reservations are encouraged. All Aboard.

Before embarking Queen Mary 2, we enjoy lunch at the famed ‘21 Club’, a stylish & lavish beginning to our voyage.

It’s a rich man’s world. Well, it certainly is among the fabulous millionaire mansions. Renaissance, rococo, French and Victorian Newport’s cliff-tops are a showcase of extravagance in all its forms!

Day 4: Boston, Massachusetts

Discover neighborhoods with distinct character, quaint brownstone-lined streets and lovely Public Gardens.
