Among the 10 cruises is one that adds Greenland, visiting three ports there.  

The sailings range from 10 o 17 days.

More than 30,000 cruisers

'The debut of Emerald Princess for our maiden Boston season celebrates a convenient new homeport for New Englanders and beyond to set sail on a premium cruise at an exceptional value, especially when compared to land-based vacations' Princess Cruises President John Padgett said. 'Our presence also generates substantial revenue for local businesses from our guests and crew, as we'll bring upwards of 30,000 cruisers to experience all that Boston has to offer.'

Emerald Princess itineraries through Oct. 7 include four seven-day roundtrips visiting Halifax and Sydney; Nova Scotia; Charlotteown, Prince Edward Island, and Portland or Bar Harbor, Maine.

A 10-day itinerary between Boston and Québec City includes Portland, Saint John, New Brunswick, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, Saguenay, Québec. Three cruises sail from Boston to Québec and two from Québec to Boston.

Greenland and Newfoundland

The cruise featuring Greenland is a 17-day Boston roundtrip with calls at Nuuk, Qaqortoq and Nanortalik, plus Sydney, and three ports in Newfoundland: Corner Brook, St. Anthony and St. John's.

'We wish Princess Cruises success as they expand their presence in the region with this inaugural homeport season,' said Lauren Gleason, Massachusetts Port Authority interim port director & chief administrative officer. '... We appreciate Princess Cruises' continued support as each Emerald Princess visit will provide substantial economic impact in both revenue and jobs throughout Massachusetts and New England.'
