This time next year, we hope to see you on board the Queen Mary 2 for The Mark Steyn Cruise. This is the most beautiful time of year in this part of the world with fall foliage in all its splendor from Quebec City to Saguenay, Sept-Iles, and Halifax, Nova Scotia sailing to New York City where we will disembark after seven fun-filled nights. Join us!
