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 .

You won't be 'overcrowded by thousands of tourists': What to know about Montreal cruises
![viking river cruises boston](https://www.usatoday.com/gcdn/presto/2022/07/06/USAT/812613b9-57d6-4d59-92a2-fa549cc62552-Diller_Nathan.jpg?crop=179,179,x0,y0&width=48&height=48&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
- Montreal is the largest city in Canada’s Quebec province.
- The city offers a relatively quaint cruise experience.
- The port welcomed just over 51,000 cruise guests in 2023.
On a recent afternoon, I strolled beside patches of purple flowers on a wooden walkway at the Port of Montreal. The Promenade d'Iberville green roof, with western red cedar decking and more than 24,000 aromatic and flowering plants, was built on top of the city’s main cruise terminal.
The effect was less industrial infrastructure – like many ports – and more charming urban parks.
Montreal may be the largest city in Canada’s Quebec province, but it offers a relatively quaint cruise experience. Bridges between Montreal and Quebec City block vessels with air draft – the distance from the waterline to the highest point on a ship – over 49 meters (or about 161 feet) from berthing at its facilities in Old Montreal.
The ships that visit are generally smaller (though the city can accommodate those with a maximum 50-meter (164 feet) air draft east of the Jacques Cartier Bridge).
“We are positioning Montreal as a niche port for luxury ships,” Yves Gilson, associate director of cruises at the Port of Montreal, told USA TODAY during a visit in May. Here’s what to know about sailing into and out of the city.
The cruise inventory tends to be upscale
Montreal typically welcomes ships carrying 2,000 passengers or less from several upscale cruise lines, which tend to operate ships with lower capacity. Those include Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Seabourn, Viking, Ponant and more. Though not a luxury brand, one of the city’s main clients is Holland America Line, which will send its 1,432-guest Volendam ship there this season.
The port welcomed just over 51,000 cruise guests in 2023. By contrast, its neighbor to the northeast, Quebec City, saw 154,000 passengers . Despite its smaller population, large ships from operators like Norwegian Cruise Line and Cunard Line will visit Quebec City this season (along with smaller vessels).
Jared Feldman, owner of travel agency Jafeldma Travel, added that it’s not just ocean cruise ships that stop in Montreal. “There are river cruises that can get in and out of there as well,” he said.
Gilson noted that the city “could absorb” traffic from bigger ships if not for the bridges. “But on the other hand, the experience for the guest is marvelous because you know they will not be overcrowded by thousands of tourists,” he said.
You can hit the ground walking
The main cruise terminal is close to many of the city’s popular attractions. Old Montreal’s Gothic Revival Notre-Dame Basilica and the Place d’Armes are less than a 10-minute walk away, and numerous restaurants, shops, and museums are also nearby.
I grabbed a prosciutto sandwich at Italian grocery store Dispensa; ate on a bench outside; picked up a coffee at Cafecito and was able to be at the main terminal within 15 minutes or so on foot while taking in views of the water and architectural landmarks like Habitat 67.
There are also multiple close bicycle rental and Metro stations, and waiting taxis (the port works with software platform, Véco Taxi, which gives priority to electric vehicles).
Gilson said more lines are offering overnight stays in Montreal, giving guests more time to explore.
When is the best time for a Montreal cruise?
Montreal’s cruise season begins in May and ends in October, hitting its peak during the last two months of that period. Feldman said fall foliage is a particular draw for passengers.
Montreal often features on Canada and New England itineraries alongside ports such as Boston, Massachusetts and Halifax, Nova Scotia. The port’s cruise calendar can be found by clicking here .
The sailings tend to last around 10 to 14 days. “The distances between the ports in this region can be significant and navigation through areas like the St. Lawrence River and around the Gulf of Maine take time,” he said. Passengers on those sailings are looking for a “more immersive experience.”
Would you spend $14,000 on a cruise?: Here's why these travelers splurged
“Longer itineraries allow for more time in each port and often include scenic cruising days,” he added.
Cruise ships have historically avoided the area when cold sets in, but that could soon change: Ponant’s icebreaking Le Commandant Charcot will offer sailings in St. Lawrence in the winter of 2025. While the ship will not visit Montreal due to its size – though it will stop in Quebec City – Gilson hopes it will mark a shift.
“And eventually, we believe that all the cruise lines will get into the St. Lawrence during the winter,” he said. “So, it's gonna be an all-year-round cruise destination.”

‘Worth Every Single Cent’: Couple Splurge on Viking Cruise for Anniversary
M ichelle and Gary Brown, of Collegeville , usually very budget conscious, decided to treat themselves to a luxury Viking cruise down the Rhine River in Europe for their 25th wedding anniversary, writes Nathan Diller for USA Today .
The trip cost around $13,000, but after spending years longingly watching Viking commercials on television, they felt that the trip for such a special occasion was “worth every single cent,” said Michelle.
The price tag of the cruise included a veranda suite on the Viking Hervor ship, all the meals, excursions, airport transfers, flights, and more.
The ship makes stops in Cologne, Germany and Strasbourg , France as well as other popular destinations along the way.
“If I would have done a European trip to all these different cities, it would have probably been close to that (price),” said Michelle.
The cruise had a capacity of just 190 guests, which made it possible for the crew members to properly get to know them during the eight days.
The cruise line offered “top-of-the-line everything,” including lamb chops for lunch on the ship on the first day.
“I mean, it was just something that we are not really accustomed to in the life that we live,” said Michelle. “This was a real special treat.”
