Ready for leaf-peeping? Cruise through dazzling fall colors by the sea this season!

Inspiration

There’s still time to view (and get that perfect Instagram) of beautiful fall foliage! Consider taking a cruise to immerse yourself in the vibrant hues of burgundy, crimson and gold.

Not only do cruises offer a unique view of fall foliage, but travelers can enjoy cruise amenities, activities and experiences at various port destinations. Fall foliage sailings can be as short as five nights or as long as almost two weeks (or even longer!), and are available throughout peak leaf-peeping season.

Feeling inspired? We’ve teamed up with Cruise Critic to break down why your leaf-peeping adventure should be on a cruise, along with tips for finding the right price with TripAdvisor Cruises.
