This tour precedes the Convention (Sept. 25-28) and takes you to some of the most interesting and picturesque ports in New England and Eastern Canada, at the height of the beautiful fall season. Each port has much to offer by way of land excursions by bus or other transport. The cruise is a leisurely way to see the sights and enjoy the colors and special personality of the Atlantic northeast.

You'll travel aboard the luxurious 77,000-ton Sea Princess. (All photos from the official Princess Cruises website. Visit the site for details of side excursions, and then contact Yamato Travel to arrange for your cruise and any additional details.)

As with any cruise, there are many, many options available to you -- from where your cabin is, what size it is, how many people are traveling, whether you have an ocean view, or a balcony, and what land tours you wish to engage. It is best to contact Yamato Travel to discuss all the options and put together the tour that will best meet your expectations.
