Depending
on the season, ships depart from Baltimore for New England and Canada, Bermuda,
the Bahamas or the Caribbean. For example, the port of Baltimore can send you:
·
On a brief but
relaxing cruise to Bermuda and back.
·
On a roundtrip
cruise to Port Canaveral, Fla.; Nassau in the Bahamas; and Key West, Fla.
·
To the Eastern
Caribbean, with stops such as San Juan, Puerto Rico; Charlotte Amalie, St.
Thomas; and Philipsburg, St. Maarten.
·
To the western
Caribbean, featuring ports like Falmouth, Jamaica; George Town, Grand Cayman
Island; and Cozumel, Mexico.
·
To the coast of
New England and Canada, with visits to historic seaports like Boston, Mass.; Bar
Harbor, Maine; and Halifax, Nova Scotia. Fall is the prime time for these
cruises, when you can admire colorful leaves against dark evergreens.
A
roundtrip cruise from Baltimore also presents a terrific opportunity to explore
this historic city for a few days before or after your cruise. Baltimore’s
Inner Harbor, once a center of shipping that fell into disuse as ships became
larger and heavier, has been beautifully redeveloped as a neighborhood that
connects the city with the waterfront. There are award-winning parks and
plazas, hotels, shops, and lots of places to feast on fresh seafood.
The
Inner Harbor is home to the National Aquarium, an amazing attraction where you
can see more than 650 species of fish, reptiles, birds and more. Be sure to check
out the shark tank, the Atlantic coral reef exhibit and the bottlenose
dolphins.
It’s
a short walk from the Inner Harbor to Camden Yards, home of the Baltimore
Orioles and the Sports Legends Museum in a beautiful former railroad station.
Or, take a water taxi to explore Fort McHenry or the Fells Point neighborhood.
