This newly revised cruise book is devoted to cruising the waters around magnificent South Africa, which is the environmental gem of the African continent. The material presented in this book is based upon the author's years of personal experience as a now retired geography professor with global travel experience. South Africa is a country he truly loves and has intimate knowledge of with regard to its geography, history and culture. This book gives you vital information about dining, touring and where to stay at the start and conclusion of your cruise. It also provides detailed information to keep you safe, as despite its beauty and charming cultures, South Africa is a country where crime is still something travelers must confront. This book is an honest account of what to expect when visiting this great country.

Every year a transformation occurs in the broadleaf forests of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. It is known as the changing of the colors, and it is one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles. Going back as far as colonial times, locals would ride their carriages or wagons into the countryside and often picnic or camp out just to witness this spectacle, many spending the weekend in communion with nature. By the late 19th century, railroads began to offer special excursions that brought visitors from even greater distances. Country inns that used to cater to spring and summer visitors from the cities began to remain open past the Labor/Labour Day weekend to accommodate those who were now coming to enjoy the fall foliage. Visitors were dubbed "leaf peepers" by locals and this term is still widely used today. The idea of fall cruising the St. Lawrence River, around the shores of the Canadian Atlantic provinces and the New England shores came later, and today this is one of the most in demand itineraries with most major cruise lines participating. What easier way to see the cavalcade of brilliant colors without the need to be driving hundreds of miles, staying in numerous hotels or country inns than to do it on board a luxury cruise ship. As more people are introduced to the comfort and convenience of cruising, it has become one of the most sought after means for viewing the changing colors of eastern Canada and New England. Again there is one limitation to a fall cruise to see the colors as opposed to motoring. This two volume set is designed to give you the best information possible to help you plan what to see, where to dine and how to maximize your onshore time at each of the ports of call in Eastern Canada and New England during the magnificent fall season. This is not a mass market book, but one designed to bring you the very best of what awaits you on shore. This is Volume 1, which brings you the Eastern Canadian ports of call.
