Your North American adventure begins in New York, a city that pulsates with energy and dynamism from morning until night. From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty, the sightseeing possibilities are plentiful, incredible monuments and world-renowned museums are at your fingertips. Once the sun sets and it’s time to refuel we guarantee you’ll be spoilt for choice in the culinary capital of the United States.

Are you looking to sample some fresh, juicy, local caught lobster or maybe to take part in some leaf-peeping? No, it's not rude, that's what travelling to photograph the fall foliage is called. This spectacle of colour, as the crisp autumnal weather turns the leaves from their summer green to striking yellows, reds and gold, is any budding photographers dream. Setting sail from New York this is the perfect 9-night cruise for those looking to enjoy a slower pace of life, the towns may be small but their maritime history is nothing of the sort. Hugging the Atlantic coastline you'll enjoy ports of call to the US cities of Boston and Portland, this is the ideal time of year to head out on a whale watching tour before the humpback whales begin their migration south to warmer waters. As the cruise continues you'll sail north into Canada for ports of call to Sydney, on the east coast of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, as well as Corner Brook on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland. The final leg of the cruise will see you sailing down the St Lawrence River to Quebec City where you will overnight onboard just a stones throw away from the beautiful old town.

Welcome to Toronto, this cosmopolitan Canadian city, perfectly perched on the banks of Lake Ontario, where you'll be spending the final three nights of this epic adventure. September is a perfect time to visit, as the summer season draws to a close you'll still be able to stroll along the waterfront paths by the lake or explore the green spaces of High Park and Kew Gardens. The mild weather means the city's rooftop cocktail bars will be buzzing with activity, however, if it's a little chilly there are plenty of old-school pubs and gritty dive bars to discover.

Make the most of your day in Niagara Falls with plenty of free time to walk and take photos along Canadian Horseshoe Falls and American Falls and explore Clifton Hill. Keep your cemeras at the ready as once you leave the falls you'll drive across the Niagara Parkway with iconic stops along the way such as the Niagara Whirlpool, floral clock, Queenston Heights Park and the Niagara Power Station.

We love Norwegian's Breakaway-Plus class ships so it's a no brainer that we think you're also going to be blown away by the Norwegian Joy. The Waterfront on deck 8 is a quarter-mile oceanfront promenade, designed to connect you with the sea. Whether you're looking to dine al fresco or simply enjoy a cocktail as the sun sets, this is the place to be. If you're feeling competitive head up to deck 19 and race around the thrilling two-level race track. Where else can you say you've raced go-karts in the middle of the ocean?

One of the best drinks packages at sea, you'll be able to enjoy a wide selection of soft drinks, spirits, cocktails, wines by the glass and bottled or draft beer served in all bars, lounges and restaurants throughout your cruise. In the early evening, you'll no doubt find us on Deck 15 in the Observation Lounge, admiring the spectacular 180° panoramic views with a cold beer or cocktail in hand.
