Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has released a 2023 ‘North American Waterways and Canadian Fall’ cruise itinerary, which includes a maiden sailing of the Hudson River in New York.

The 34-night cruise will set sail from Southampton in September 2023 and will visit a number of Canadian ports, including St John’s in Newfoundland and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Balmoral will then head to America where highlights will include a scenic sailing of the Hudson River, as well as the Cape Cod Canal and Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in Baltimore.

Guests who book by 30 September 2020 will enjoy up to £300 per person to spend on board during their holiday.

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines director of product and customer service, Clare Ward, said:

“This is set to be an exceptional itinerary, timed so that guests will be able to witness the autumnal beauty of the destinations they will visit.

“This will be the first time we have sailed to Canada since 2019, and we know it is a destination that our guests always enjoy visiting with us.

“Particularly exciting will be the opportunity to cruise along the Hudson River in New York, a maiden sailing for us, made possible by the smaller size of Balmoral.

“Plus, those who book before the end of September will receive up to £300 to spend on board – on us! This means they can sit back, relax and enjoy all of the benefits of small ship cruising during their time aboard and ashore.”
