    Besides the 7 night cruise, what is the form of transportation between the other stops on the Eastern Highlights and New England Cruise?

    • Emerald CruisesOperatorWritten September 2025

      For the land portion of the itinerary you will be transported by a coach along with the other passengers.

      Donna

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Could you give me a breakdown on the destination's arrival and departure times of the coach part of the trip.

    • Emerald CruisesOperatorWritten September 2025

      The exact time has not been fixed for 2026 as of yet. But you are looking at starting the day at approximately 8 AM(after breakfast) to ending it in the early evening around 5 PM.

      Donna

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      I was hoping you could give me the amount of time spend on the road between destinations. It is our least favorite part of this trip. We would also be interested if you happen to have a river cruise offering that included Niagra Falls, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City

    • Emerald CruisesOperatorWritten October 2025

      Drive duration: Day 2 Toronto to Niagara Falls- 2 hours each way, Day-3 Toronto-Kingston 3 1/2 hours, Day 3 Kingston- Ottawa 3 1/2 hours, Day 5 Ottawa-Montreal 2 hours, Day 6 Montreal-Quebec City 3 hours.
