If you’ve got the money and you’ve got the time, then there’s no better way to welcome the autumn season than with a cruise that focuses on the beautiful, changing colors of fall. Fall foliage cruises are relaxing, you don’t need to worry about getting a sunburn out on the deck, and you get to sit back and revel at some of the year’s most spectacular scenery.

Fall foliage cruises and tours are gaining popularity and sometimes you need to book a spot well in advance. So here’s a sneak peek at some of the best foliage cruises in the U.S. this coming fall:

1. American Cruise Lines is your ticket to New York State fall foliage. The cruises take you through NY ports to see breathtaking Catskills and Hudson Valley fall foliage, as well fall foliage with a city backdrop along the island of Manhattan. NY foliage is some of the best, especially once you get out of the city and remember that there’s so much more to NY State than just the Big Apple!
2. Board the Lady Katharine and cruise down the Connecticut River for Lunch and Sunday Brunch Fall Foliage Cruises. You’ll see some of the best fall foliage in New England as you enjoy a classic Sunday brunch.
3. The Isles of Shoals Fall Sightseeing Cruises highlight the best of the best of New Hampshire fall foliage. This is sort of a three-in-one cruise that also shows off New Hampshire’s stunning islands and historic lighthouses.
4. Get up close and personal with Maine fall foliage with the Maine Windjammer Association Fall Cruises. Unlike most other fall foliage cruises which offer one day excursions, the Maine Windjammer Cruises, aboard historic ships, offer four day trips in September and October.
5. New England’s not the only place where you can cruise for views! In fact, you’ll be wowed by colorful aspens and maples along the Rocky Mountains. Early October is peak viewing time for fall foliage in Colorado, so you better act quick before the snow start pouring down on the Rocky Mountain area and it’s too late to enjoy the Colorado fall colors!
6. You can experience Virginia and Maryland fall foliage by cruising through the Chesapeake Bay with American Cruise Lines (same fleet as number one). You’ll also see lighthouses along the way.

Book your fall foliage cruise soon and you’ll be well on your way to experiencing first hand what makes the United States so special in the fall.
