Fall Cruises
- Autumn/Winter Cruises 2004
NEW YORK, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Cruisers have more opportunities than
ever to experience New England and Canada's fall foliage, historic sites and
vibrant cultures in 2004, according to the Cruise Lines International
Association (CLIA).
"The popularity of close-to-home vacationing coupled with the CLIA cruise
lines' expanded roster of Northeastern departure ports make fall foliage
cruises an attractive choice for travelers," says Terry L. Dale, president and
chief executive officer of CLIA, the non-profit marketing and training
association representing the North American cruise industry and nearly
16,000 travel agencies.
A fall cruise along the eastern seaboard enables guests to take in the
magnificent colors of Mother Nature's fall finery from the deck of a luxurious
ship on cruises of five to 12 nights and ships of every size and style.
This fall, ships depart from several East Coast ports, including New York,
Boston, Baltimore, Montreal, Quebec City and Bayonne, N.J.
Land programs and shore excursions enable travelers to explore historic
and cultural attractions along the way.
"The cooler fall weather makes autumn an ideal time to relax and explore
the wonders of Canada and New England," says Dale.
Following is a sampling of fall foliage cruises offered by the CLIA lines:
