Explora's name for it: A Journey from Rugged Scenery to Striking Skylines
The itinerary, port by port
7 calls over 9 nights, Quebec City to New York City. Open any port for my full day-ashore guide, what to see, when to go, and how the day actually runs.
Getting there: Flights to Quebec City (YQB) open around November 2027, about 11 months before you sail. I track that window for booked clients and flag it the moment it is worth booking. When to book your flights →
