A helicopter adventure over the vast landscape of Gros Morne National Park, nine holes at the Fairmont Algonquin Golf Course and a
kayaking expedition that ends with a beach site lobster bake, are a few of 26 brand new Crystal Adventures shore excursions offered for
Crystal Cruises’ 2008 New England and Canada itineraries. More than 100 tours in all, including many new outdoor options, are available
with four 10- and 11-day itineraries aboard Crystal Symphony from September 16 through October 29.
Sailing between New York and Montréal, the cruises include a maiden call at Corner Brook Newfoundland, and visits to such perennial
favorite destinations as Newport; Boston, Bar Harbor, Maine; Saint John, New Brunswick; Halifax, Nova Scotia and Quebec City. A
golf-themed itinerary sails from Montréal to New York on September 27.
“New England’s rich history and the region’s stunning fall landscape are major attractions for travelers within the U.S. as well as abroad,”
said John Stoll, Crystal Cruises' director, land programs. “Adding to the itineraries’ diversity are French Canada’s flair and the traditions of the maritime
provinces. Our outdoor and culturally enriching options are designed to engage guests in the region’s charm and beauty.”
