Emerald Princess – 7-day Canada / New England

Round trip from New York
with one sea day and five ports of call days in Newport, RI; Boston, MA; Bar Harbor, ME; Saint John and Halifax, Canada

(Itinerary and other details, including prices, are subject to change.)

Due to the port-intensive itinerary, so that retreatants may be able to spend time in ports and enjoy shore excursions, our daily retreat schedule (rosary, morning prayer, Mass and one presentation by Michael Voris) will be from 8:15 a.m. to approx. 11:30 a.m. each day.  We plan to have an optional Q&A session from 1–2:30 p.m. On Friday, the sea day, Michael will give an additional presentation. We are finalizing details with Princess Cruises; this information is subject to change.

Dining

It begins in a little village. Or a big city. Or a tropical island. Our chefs travel from their homes to our ships, bringing family recipes and enthusiasm along with them. They create dishes served by crew members who love to tell stories of their own, about where they're from and where they've been, and hear your stories too. Because food brings people together, especially here.

Activities

Enjoy the views, exercise, read, socialize with fellow retreatants, check your e-mails on your personal device or internet cafe, or just relax and enjoy time for prayer between our complete schedule of functions.  Click here to learn more about cruise activities.

Kids, Teens & Family: Unique and immersive travel experiences, including more time in more ports, Discovery™ and Animal Planet™ shore excursions, and award-winning onboard programs, have earned Princess the distinction of "Best Cruise Line for Multi-Generational Family Travel" in the Porthole Cruise Magazine 2018 Readers' Choice Awards.
