MIAMI, March 27 -- Featuring 10 unforgettable
ports and an overnight stay in Quebec City, Celebrity Cruises' 2009
Canada/New England sailings are a must for cruise enthusiasts who swoon at
the sight of autumn foliage. The cruises open for booking today.
Although just three sailings comprise Celebrity's 2009 Canada/New
England season, each itinerary offers spectacular views and Celebrity's
signature service with style. The first sailing is a 14-night cruise on
September 19, followed by a 13-night voyage on October 3, and a 14-night
cruise on October 16, all on Celebrity Constellation, round-trip out of
Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey.
All three sailings feature an overnight stay in one of Celebrity's past
guests' favorite ports, Quebec City, Quebec. Known for its French heritage,
cobbled alleyways, and the scenic St. Charles and St. Lawrence rivers,
Quebec City offers Celebrity's guests a host of shore excursions that range
from a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride with dinner in the old quarter to
a bicycling tour to the cascading Montmorency Falls. Each sailing also
includes a full-day visit to Sydney, Nova Scotia, where guests can embrace
the local culture through shore excursions such as "The Heart of the
Island," which takes guests to picturesque Cape Breton Island, highly rated
by National Geographic Traveler. The excursion weaves through rugged
countryside to the Nova Scotia Highland Village, a 50-acre historical site
overlooking the "Great Inland Sea," or Bras d'Or Lakes region.
The three voyages also feature calls on Newport, Rhode Island, and
Boston, Massachusetts, which Celebrity Constellation hasn't visited since
2007, as well as Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, and Portland, Maine,
where Celebrity offers a shore excursion showcasing the beauty of White
Mountain National Forest and the world's first mountain-climbing cog
railway. Other ports in Celebrity's 2009 Canada/New England season include
Bar Harbor, Maine; Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Saint John, New Brunswick.
