Cunard sails to a variety of North American ports, including New York City, Boston and Halifax in the east, Miami in the south, San Francisco in the west and Vancouver and Victoria in the north. For a more complete list of ports, visit our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/cruise-destinations/usa-and-canada/usa-and-canada-ports">dedicated ports page</a>&nbsp;for the USA and Canada.

What are popular ports in the USA and Canada?

The USA features vibrant cities on both east and west coasts, and these are not to be missed. Cunard makes regular visits to New York City, where world-famous sights such as the Empire State Building and Central Park await exploration. North of NYC lies Boston, where a whale-watching tour and The Freedom Trail, a route of historic sites and museums, are at the top of any visitor's list. A cruise along the Californian coast means port calls in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The Golden Gate Bridge and the island of Alcatraz are well worth a visit in San Francisco, whereas Los Angeles is home to the stars: walk along Hollywood Boulevard and keep your eyes peeled for celebrities.
Canada offers stunning cities and incredible scenery in equal measure. The western city of Vancouver perfectly blends modern architecture with the great outdoors, offering boat tours and whale watching, museums and markets, beaches and mountains. There's no place better to learn about Canadian history than the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, and Halifax, on the east coast, is the birthplace of Cunard itself.

What are the top sights in the USA and Canada?

Cunard's Transatlantic Crossings sail almost all year round, and often these can be sailed in combination with a visit to New England and/or Canada. June, July and August are the best months for warmer weather but, if you don't mind the colder temperatures, a cruise in September or October offers the chance to see the region in its full autumnal glory.

What is the best time to cruise to Canada and New England?

You are welcome to bring water, soft drinks and light snacks on board, although we encourage you to take full advantage of our dining options. These include indulgent fine dining, hearty gastro fare, an informal buffet, and complimentary breakfast in bed.

Can I bring food with me on board?

Yes, you will find a full selection of toiletries and cosmetics in the Royal Arcade shops. Complimentary Penhaligon’s toiletries are also included in your stateroom.

Can you buy toiletries on board?

You may bring one bottle of wine or Champagne on board to enjoy within your stateroom.

Can you pack alcohol?

For all complimentary on board activities, your equipment is included at no extra charge. You’ll find an ever-changing programme of classes and activities to try each day, including fencing (adults 18+ only), table tennis, paddle tennis, shuffleboard, quoits, golf (chipping, putting and target nets), hoopla, darts, croquet and short mat bowls, to name but a few. Additionally, our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/activity-types/spa/fitness">gym and facilities</a>&nbsp;provide state-of-the-art equipment,&nbsp; with all necessary requirements provided to&nbsp;you once on your ship, so there’s no need to bring anything of this nature with you.&nbsp;

Do I need to bring sports equipment or can I rent it?

No, we will provide fresh beach, pool and bathroom towels for your throughout your stay.

Do I need to pack beach towels?

Irons are available in our laundries, so you won’t need to bring an iron with you.&nbsp;Please note, you are not permitted to bring irons on board with you.

Do the rooms have an iron, or should I bring one?

You’ll find both self-service launderettes and specialist cleaning services on board.
The self-service launderettes are complimentary and include washing machines, washing powder (you may bring your own personal washing powder if you wish), tumble dryers and ironing facilities, which are available from around 7.30am until 9pm (subject to change).
For sensitive and non-washable garments, we offer a specialist wet cleaning service at a small charge, free from the use of chemical solvents. This method can be used for garments that typically require dry cleaning.

How does the laundry service work?

We allow an unlimited amount of luggage on board our ships, so long as each individual bag weighs under 23kg. However, if your cruise includes a connecting flight, you will need to be mindful of the luggage restrictions enforced by your airline.&nbsp;

How many suitcases can I bring on a cruise?

It really depends on how often you’d like to dine out formally each night. We encourage smart attire in formal dining restaurants in the evenings, but for buffet dining and in our Golden Lion pub, no formal dress code applies.&nbsp;On Gala evenings, of which there are usually two or three per seven-night cruise, we ask that you dress to impress, so do bear this in mind when packing; you may also want to dress for the theme of the evening, which will be communicated before you sail. You can take advantage of our full laundry service on board, which may help to reduce the number of formal evening options you bring on longer cruises.&nbsp;

How many suits / dresses will I need?

This will depend on how much you plan to use the pool and spa facilities, but in general, we would recommend packing two or three swimsuits.

How many swimsuits / bathing suits will I need?

You are welcome to bring entertainment devices such as laptops, tablets and music players on board. Please also pack headphones, if you wish to use these in public areas of the ship.
Heated hair stylers, electronic shavers and tabletop fans can be used within your stateroom only. We provide hair dryers in all staterooms, so there’s no need to bring one with you.
Extension leads aren’t permitted on board, unless with essential medical equipment (e.g. CPAP and nebuliser machines). These will be checked for electrical safety along with your medical equipment, prior to sailing.
Surge protected extension leads are not accepted in any circumstances as they interfere with the ship's electrical distribution. See&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/advice-and-policies/prohibited-items">our list of prohibited items</a>&nbsp;for guidance.

What electronics can I bring?

Cunard’s on board accommodation is among the most spacious at sea. Each stateroom is equipped with wardrobe hanging space and a safe for your valuables, as well as drawers for your clothes and accessories. In addition, your stateroom’s bathroom has counter space beside the sink where you&nbsp;may wish to keep your toiletries, while select Grills Suites on board also feature dedicated in-suite dressing areas.&nbsp;Explore our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/the-cunard-experience/staterooms-and-suites">accommodation pages</a>&nbsp;for more information.
