North America Cruises

Whether you’re a culture vulture, nature lover or city clicker, North America has the perfect cruise destination for you- and there’s nothing stopping you seeing everything you want in one grand trip!

Best Sights

West Coast

The laidback west coast of the old frontiers is ideal for those looking to mix having a wild time in iconic cities and get back to nature in some of the world’s best national parks.

• Las Vegas
• Los Angeles
• San Francisco
• Seattle
• Hawaii
• Alaska

As well as classic west-coast cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco you’ll easily find many sailings going up to Seattle, Alaska and Canada or down to Mexico. In addition, many cruises along the western seaboard even cruise out into the pacific to visit the idyllic islands of Hawaii.

East Coast

The land where the Pilgrim Fathers first landed and the nations of the United States and Canada were born. The east coast of North America is rich in history, natural beauty and iconic cities.

• New York
• Boston
• Miami
• Washington
• Toronto

If you don’t like flying or simply have a passion for traditional ocean travel, a cruise direct from Southampton to New York is a must. This is a particularly special experience onboard Cunard’s ships with a style of classic British cruising complete with elegant balls, afternoon teas and celebrated white star service.

Alternately, if you’re looking for some fun in the sun in a more modern American style of cruising, head to Miami, the gateway to the Caribbean and Central America, on a fly cruise package.

A highlight of a cruise to the east coast is the wide options of cruise and stay packages available to make the most of your time at sea and ashore alike. With tours of the battlefield of Gettysburg, land tours through Amish Country or to Toronto and Niagara Falls, a land tour is perfect for culture vultures or those just wanting a hotel stay exploring New York either side of their cruise.

Cruise and Stay Land Tours

As well as some of the best cruise destinations in the world, North America is top when it comes to cruise and stay packages. These are as varied as rail and sail adventures aboard the rocky mountaineer, escorted land tours of Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon or Maine and Washington national parks.

• Rail and Sail with the Rocky Mountaineer in Alaska and Canada

• Explore inland on an escorted tour of North America’s national parks, best cities and iconic landmarks

North American River Cruising

Thanks to the unique American Queen Steamboat Company, there’s more to North American cruising than the oceans. Onboard this iconic paddle steamer, there’s never been a more romantic way to see the delights of the south than a trip down the mighty Mississippi all the way to New Orleans for vibrant Cajun dishes and jazz late into the night.

When To Cruise North America

When it comes to the weather and terrain, North America is one of the most diverse areas on earth from the rocky canyons of Texas to the sweeping coasts of Maine, everglades of the south and vast fjords and glaciers of Alaska. Most holiday makers visit during the height of summer due to the school holidays so we’d advise you to go either side of the crowd if you can- you’ll also find the heat a bit more pleasant in the south while the cold isn’t as biting to the north!
