Starting in late August, many ships will start repositioning from the Mediterranean and Northern Europe to spend the fall sailing from New York to New England and Canada. Some cruises will sail round trip from New York, while others will sail on one-way cruises to Montreal and/or Quebec Canada, where passengers can embark/disembark. These longer one-way cruises allow passengers to explore additional Canadian ports further down the St. Lawrence Seaway.
During the winter months, both Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) will offer cruises to the Bahamas, Florida, the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean.
