Two new lavish land programs allow Crystal guests to extend their vacations with five 2014 luxury cruises through North America’s East Coast and French Canada. Available on Crystal Serenity’s September-October voyages, the two- and three-night, pre- and post-cruise packages offer travelers the opportunity to explore beyond the rich New England/Canada cruise itineraries that begin or end in Quebec City. Guests can choose from programs in Toronto and Niagara Falls, Montreal and Quebec City, or enjoy a free transfer between Quebec and Montreal to plan one’s own extended adventure.
Toronto & Niagara Falls, 2 nights:
— A tour of breathtaking Niagara Falls, followed by a wet sailing
excursion through the spray at the base of the falls aboard the Maid of
the Mist.
— A visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake, home to 28 wineries producing
award-winning vintages and ice wines, and a Heritage District full of
specialty shops and eateries, plus a winemaker’s lunch of seasonal
dishes paired with specially selected wines at one of the estates.
— A sky-high dinner 1,100 feet above Toronto at the CN Tower’s rotating
360 restaurant – home of the world’s highest wine cellar – boasting
market-fresh regional specialties with a changing view of the city’s
lights and shoreline.
— Exploration of a “hidden” Toronto via the PATH – a 16-mile underground
network of shops, museums, theatres and world-class dining.
