Princess offers some of the best one-way Canada and New England cruises from Boston. These are long, port-rich itineraries that reach Quebec City. Here’s what’s sailing.

Caribbean Princess sails 10-night cruises from Boston to Quebec City in fall 2027, including September 7, September 28 and October 19 departures. Sapphire Princess sails the same route in fall 2026. Typical ports:

Princess also sails Canada and New England from New York on Regal Princess in 2027.
One-way vs. round trip
One-way cruises reach far more of Atlantic Canada, including Prince Edward Island, the Saguenay Fjord and Quebec City, than 7-night round trips. The trade-off is a one-way flight or train home. Many New Englanders fly Quebec City to Boston, or add a few days in Quebec and Montreal. See round trip vs. one-way.
Best time to sail
Late September to mid-October is peak foliage and the most popular period. Early September offers milder weather and slightly lower fares.
Packing
Layers, a rain jacket and good walking shoes. Quebec City is hilly and cobblestoned. See our packing guide.
