September 25 - October 7, 2028
Onboard the Celebrity Summit - Round Trip from Boston, MA.
There is something magical about autumn in New England and Eastern Canada — brilliant colour along rugged coastlines, historic towns dressed for the season, crisp fall days and that unmistakable feeling that comes when summer gives way to something a little slower and cozier.
In September 2028, I’d love for you to experience it with me!
Our Fall Colors Cruise is a 12-night journey aboard Celebrity Summit, sailing roundtrip from Boston through some of the most beautiful and distinctive destinations in New England and Eastern Canada. We’ll wander a quintessential Maine coastal town, experience the charm of Halifax and Charlottetown, sail into Newfoundland’s spectacular Bay of Islands, explore the historic streets of Quebec City and discover the beauty of Cape Breton Island.
And in between those days of exploring? We’ll have time to slow down and document our adventures together while Celebrity Summit carries us from one destination to the next.
That’s what Moments & Memories trips are all about — not choosing between seeing the world and making time for something you love, but bringing the two together. Come for the scenery, the destinations, the creative time and the friendships, and go home with completed scrapbook pages of watching autumn unfold from port to port.

From quintessential New England harbor towns to colorful Maritime cities, rugged Newfoundland landscapes and the European charm of Quebec City, this itinerary gives us six very different places to explore — each with its own scenery, history and personality. ***
ROCKLAND, MAINE
Classic Coastal New England
Small-town Maine, harbor views, lighthouses and that quintessential rocky-coast feeling.
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA
History Meets the Waterfront
A wonderfully walkable waterfront city with maritime history - plus the possibility of heading farther afield toward places such as Peggy’s Cove.
CORNER BROOK, NEWFOUNDLAND
Wild Atlantic Beauty
Dramatic Newfoundland landscapes, the Bay of Islands and a completely different flavor of Atlantic Canada.***
CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
Small-Town Island Charm
Historic streets, colorful architecture and the gateway to PEI’s rolling countryside and red-sand coastline.
QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC
A Little Piece of Europe
Cobblestone streets, historic architecture, cafés and Old Quebec - probably the port that feels most different from anywhere else on the itinerary.
SYDNEY, NOVA SCOTIA
Gateway to Cape Breton
Our jumping-off point for Cape Breton, with its Celtic heritage and spectacular coastal scenery.

Celebrity Summit
For 12 nights, Celebrity Summit will be our home base as we travel from Boston through New England and Atlantic Canada.
With comfortable public spaces, great dining options and plenty of places to relax between ports, Summit gives us lots of ways to enjoy the journey without feeling like every minute needs to be scheduled.
And on our four sea days, we’ll have dedicated time to gather, create and connect — while still leaving plenty of room to simply enjoy being on vacation.
Celebrity Summit is a beautifully updated ship with a more intimate feel and plenty of inviting spaces to enjoy throughout the journey. From lounges and dining venues to ocean views and quiet corners, there’s lots to explore and enjoy between ports.
The Meeting Place will become our private creative home at sea, with dedicated space to enjoy creating in together throughout the cruise.

With four sea days woven throughout our itinerary, there will be time for much more than scrapbooking. Relax in Summit’s adults-only Solarium, linger over a meal, meet a friend for coffee or simply find a comfortable spot and enjoy a slower day at sea.
Your cruise fare will be booked and paid through Tasha at Destination Awaits and will vary depending on the stateroom category you choose.
Fares from $4262.00 CAD per person double occupancy in an Inside Stateroom. Prices for other Ocean View staterooms can be found on the booking page. Please contact Tasha for Concierge Class, Aqua Class and Retreat Class stateroom pricing.
Cruise fare includes your accommodations aboard Celebrity Summit, meals in the ship’s included dining venues, select beverages, onboard entertainment and access to the ship’s many public spaces and amenities. Taxes, port fees and any other required charges will be clearly outlined when booking.
All prices include the Classic Drink and Basic WiFi Packages, as well as pre-paid Gratuities. Note that these additions cannot be separated from our group pricing.
Your flights/travel to and from Boston and any excursions you choose are NOT included in the cruise fare.
The Moments & Memories Creative Experience Fee is $325.00 CAD per person and will be paid separately to Scrapbook with Noreen.
Your Creative Experience fee covers our dedicated conference space, all planned scrapbook classes and demonstrations, creative inspiration throughout the cruise, and the supplies and materials needed for the projects designed to help you document your Fall Colors adventure while the memories are still fresh.
Your crop spot is reserved when your cruise is booked.
Because the creative experience is limited to 50 scrapbookers, your confirmed cruise booking through Destination Awaits is what secures your place in the Moments & Memories crop. Once your cruise reservation is complete, you’ll receive a separate link to pay the $125 CAD deposit for the Creative Experience Fee. You will receive a second payment link for the remaining $200 CAD approximately three months before the cruise date.
The Moments & Memories creative experience is intentionally limited to just 50 scrapbookers, allowing us to keep the group personal, relaxed and connected.
Non-scrapbooking companions are absolutely welcome to sail with us too! They can enjoy the ship, ports and time together while you join us for the scheduled creative sessions. Non-scrapbooking companions will not be charged the Creative Experience fee.
Moments & Memories trips are designed for scrapbookers who want to experience the destination just as much as they want to document it. We’ll explore, take photos, enjoy the ship and ports, and then use our creative time at sea to begin turning those fresh memories into pages together.

This trip may be a great fit for you if:
You love both travel and scrapbooking
You want the destinations to be an important part of the experience
You like the idea of having your creative projects, supplies and instruction planned for you
You enjoy creating with a smaller group where there’s time to connect and get to know one another
You appreciate a relaxed schedule with room to explore, create and simply enjoy being on vacation
You don’t need to be an experienced scrapbooker. Whether you’ve been creating albums for years or simply love photos, stories and preserving memories, you’ll be welcome.
This trip may not be the right fit if:
You’re looking primarily for a traditional crop where you bring your own projects and scrapbook for most of the day
You prefer a tightly scheduled vacation with activities planned from morning until night
You’re looking for a large, high-energy event or party-style cruise
There’s no pressure to keep up or finish a certain number of pages. The goal is simply to experience the trip, enjoy creating together and come home with some of your Fall Colors memories already beginning to take shape.
When bookings open, you'll first reserve your cruise directly through Tasha at Destination Awaits. Once that is confirmed, your spot in the 50-person Moments & Memories Creative Experience will be saved,
and I'll send you the separate link to pay your Creative Experience Fee.
Non-scrapbooking companions are welcome to sail with us too — only the scrapbooker participating in the creative program pays the Creative Experience Fee.
Book your cruise first. Your crop spot is automatically saved. I'll take care of the rest from there!
