Autumn Reflections: Québec to the Atlantic – A HISTORY Channel™ Journey

Oct 16 - 31, 2026

We are going to Canada and New England then to Norfolk and ending in Miami for our 14 night cruise on Holland America's Zuiderdam!  The dates are October 16th - 31st, 2026.

Included is a pre-cruise night at a fabulous hotel, airport to hotel transfer, hotel to ship transfer MGA travel hosts, a History Channel curated itinerary and shore excursion design, all standard cruise inclusions such as dining, lodging, and entertainment. We will also have some private dance parties onboard if you'd like to attend you can! That's because we also have an SOS group going. There are always non-shaggers in the SOS group.  Everyone is treated the same and as a single group and all are issued name tags, which are used for admission to the group events.

We think these events are fun even though we are not shaggers.  However anyone in the group can choose to come to the events (even if they don't want to dance, they watch).  Or they can choose to enjoy the other cruise activities, along with the rest of the ship, as they wish.

We expect Fall Foliage Colors in Canada & New England!

Go for the Music, the History, the Fall Colors, the amazing itinerary, or just to have a great cruise!
