June 2023: Cruise Into Fall
"Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale."
– Lauren DeStefano
We may be sinking into hot summer days spent lazily lounging on beaches and in backyards, but autumn (and autumn cruise travel!) will soon be upon us. The morning air will slowly turn crisp and biting. Football fans will cheer (or boo!) at their televisions while indulging in slow-cooked meals. Pumpkin spice fans will line up at their local coffee shops for seasonal brews. The leaves will change to vibrant shades of red and gold, and cruise enthusiasts will be taking to the top deck of their ship to view the beautiful colors that line the Northeast Coastlines.
For many, fall is the best time of year. As for us…we love fall cruising!
In many destinations around the world, it is the best time of the year. Menus are spruced up with a hearty selection of homemade meals and the most robust wines. The landscape views are more astounding than in any other season. Temperatures are often quite comfortable for sightseeing.
Although you might be focused on fun in the sun, it is also time to make autumn cruise travel arrangements. Whether you prefer spooky fall frights or scenic fall sights, let's make a date to chat about your fall cruise vacation!
This month and next, make sure to check out my socials - sharing all things for Northeastern Cruise Travel - from ports, cruise lines, itinerary options and destinations!
Recently, I had the opportunity to complete a ship tour of Royal Caribbean Vision of the Seas, sailing a variety of Caribbean, Bermudian, and New England Coast itineraries from Baltimore, Maryland. Check out this beautiful ship!
4 Fall Trips You'll Fall in Love With
Sail the Canadian and New England Seas: The finest fall foliage is closer to home than you may think. North American sailings typically begin in New York and sail through Canada as far north as Quebec. During this itinerary you can chow down on the freshest lobster sandwiches, visit Cadillac Mountain, or kayak the Bay of Fundy.
Cruising the Fall Foliage in Europe: There's no better way to see several European countries all in one trip than sailing the Rhine or Danube. These itineraries offer stops at bucket-list destinations like historic castles, battlefields, and museums. Book a classic European experience like taking a cooking class or painting a picture alongside a chef or artist.

Exploring Exotic Thailand: In Thailand, late fall is an ideal time for travel because it falls right after the country's wet season. (The days in November are the sunniest!) Enjoy the best in selection and availability of in-season produce at the street markets. Visit elephant sanctuaries, scuba the coasts, swim with sea turtles, or simply hike the freshly hydrated rainforests. A fall escape to Thailand will enchant you.
