Adding a Coastal Cruise Segment to a Trip from Canada

Short cruises and overnight ferries can turn a simple transfer into a highlight when you are building a trip from Canada, but they work best when you treat embarkation and disembarkation days as travel days, arrive in the port city at least one day early, and pack so that your cruise or ferry segment feels like a calm pause in the middle of the journey rather than a second full itinerary to manage.
