We are back enjoying a cruise to Canada and New England on Holland America Line’s ms Veendam cruise ship.
This is one of our favorite 7-day cruise itineraries, and Holland America offers it between April and October.
You can sail this itinerary in either direction, either starting in Montreal, Canada, and sailing to Boston. Or you can sail from Boston, and end your cruise in Montreal. Some folks stay on the ship both ways, for a 14-day cruise, or combine their 7-day Canada and New England cruise with a 7-day cruise to Bermuda.
The 7-Day Canada and New England cruise includes six days in different ports, with one day at sea. Here are some of our favorite insights on each port from our prior cruises:

From the historic Old North Church in Boston (where Paul Revere shined his light) —
to the northern shores of Prince Edward Island (famous for mussels, potatoes and Anne of Green Gables) — we think this cruise offers fun for people of all ages.
