Fall foliage tours of New England, Canada, Michigan & Colorado
If you'd like to take a trip to see fall foliage but prefer to leave the driving to others, Tauck World Discovery offers tours of New England and Canada as well as Michigan and Colorado.
Tauck trips range from seven to 14 days, and run from $1,990 to $4,040. Details at www.tauck.com or 800-468-2825.
Consider seeing the season's colors from the deck of a cruise ship. For example, as of Sept. 10, 2007, the Carnival Victory still had staterooms available for well under $1,000 a person for seven-day round-trip sailings from New York to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada, with stops in Boston and Portland, Maine. The final departure date for the Victory's fall foliage itinerary is Sept. 29, 2007.
Other ships sailing this season to Canada and New England, according to the Cruise Lines International Association, include Celebrity's Constellation, Crystal Symphony, Cunard's Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Mary 2, Holland America's Maasdam, Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Spirit, Princess Cruises' Grand Princess and Crown Princess, and Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas.
Check with a travel agent or the cruise lines' Web sites for availability.
