The Northeast and Canada 2009
The Magic of Nature — So Close to Home
Crystal Symphony’s 2009 New England & Canada season
It only happens here.
Nowhere else
does Mother
Nature prepare
for winter as
she does along
the northeastern
shores of New
England and Canada.
Here, rolling hills are blanketed in a blaze of
crimson, ochre and yellow.
This fall, Crystal Symphony explores the
world-class cities and hidden harbors of this
treasured part of the world. From the
cosmopolitan elegance of French Montréal
and the cobblestone streets of Old Québec
to the white-steepled churches of Bar
Harbor, the palatial summer homes of
Newport and the skyscrapers of New York
City, we invite you to discover the majesty
of North America.
On four departures from October 1 through
October 30, 2009, New England’s autumnal
scenery gives cause to reflect and drink in
the pure beauty of one of nature’s most
captivating dramas. On itineraries that offer
both active and relaxing Crystal Adventures
ashore, your options for discovery are endless
as you revel at the panorama of Montmorency
Falls, a monumental work of nature at 272
feet, an astounding 90 feet higher than
Niagara Falls (from Québec City), or kayak
along the Saint John River, known as the
Rhine of North America, with its spectacular
wildlife of great blue heron and eagles
en route to the riverbank. By bike or motor
coach, journey through Acadia National Park’s
35,000 acres of wilderness along the ocean’s
edge to Cadillac Mountain, the Atlantic coast’s
highest peak (from Bar Harbor).
As Mother Nature works her magic ashore,
your intellectual curiosities are cultivated
on board. On each itinerary, destination
experts offer engaging lectures about
the region’s history and wildlife, and
the October 19 departure is a dedicated
Smithsonian Journey, one of our enriching
Experiences of Discovery voyages, featuring
presentations from the cultural and
educational arm of the legendary institute.
Of special note is our annual President’s
Cruise, which journeys from Montréal
to New York on October 30 — one of
the two Crystal Society sailings offered
in 2009. Hosted by Crystal President
Gregg L. Michel and his wife, Adriana,
this cruise is offered at an exceptional value
with exclusive fares made available only to
Crystal Society members. In addition to the
special programming and onboard parties
and events, the President’s Cruise is known
for its tremendous joie de vivre, fostering a
delightful camaraderie among guests both
old and new to the Crystal Experience.
EXCEPTIONAL VALUE &
PRICELESS MEMORIES
Keep in mind that all four of Crystal
Symphony’s New England and Canada
itineraries feature our popular Crystal
Family Memories promotion. When ten
full-fare guests travel together, you receive
one free berth. Plus, children ages 17 and
under traveling with parents in the same
stateroom cruise for free. With pre-paid
gratuities, $100 per person shipboard
credit (maximum two per stateroom),
two complimentary 8x10 photographs,
a $500 credit toward a minimum $2,500
Crystal Private Adventure, and per person

$2,455, the value is exceptional, and the
memories priceless.
