Today I’d go … on a New England cruise

Every Thursday I write about a place I’d love to go.

I’ve always wanted to see New England in the fall, and now is the time to book that trip. 

Uncommon Journeys is offering the chance to see those colors onboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2’s trip to  Atlantic Canada and New England.

From the email I received on the trip:

This 16-day journey runs Sept. 26 through Oct. 11 and begins with a first-class overnight stay in New York City at the storied Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue. Guests start their extravagant holiday with a special sailing day brunch at the famed 21 Club before departing out of New York’s stunning harbor. While onboard, guests will be treated to an abundance of exquisite amenities and activities including the majestic Britannia Restaurant, the resplendent Royal Court Theatre, the swank Commodore Club, the only planetarium afloat, and the two deck-high Queen’s Room adorned with chandeliers. A special trip highlight includes an unforgettable evening in Quebec City with dinner at the awe-inspiring Château Frontenac Hotel overlooking the St. Lawrence River. This unique Uncommon Journeys itinerary also offers a “One Call Does it All” arrangement, with a professional tour manager arranging guest’s entire trip from start to finish including preferred routing, hotel stay and cabin choice onboard the Queen Mary 2, in addition to complimentary or low-cost round-trip train travel to and from New York City and guest’s hometown.
