Hosted by Christy Stone
Sail north in the golden light of fall, where crimson shorelines meet slate-blue water and harbor towns glow with harvest color aboard this refined, mid-sized ship. Savor fresh lobster, warm chowder, maple sweetness, and hot cocoa as crisp air brushes your cheeks. Listen to church bells in Québec, buoys rocking in quiet coves, and wind moving through trees along the coast.
