If you dream of dropping anchor off the coast of charming seaside towns and viewing stoic lighthouses as you enter quaint ports-of-call, I can't wait to share my experience on Holland America Line's (HAL) Nieuw Statendam sailing to New England and Canada with you!
EMBARKATION DAY
My husband and I arrived in Boston the night before our cruise and stayed at the Seaport Hotel, a waterfront hotel in the heart of Boston's Seaport District. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance and it is a very short Uber ride to Black Falcon Cruise Terminal. Flying in the day before our cruise gave us peace of mind and a chance to explore Boston and try our first lobster rolls.
