Somewhere relaxing after busy New York?

[edgewater]

I am thinking a 3 night cruise to the Caribbean but has anyone got a suggestion of somewhere else to go. Don’t want Orlando and actually would prefer not to fly to the other destination. Thanks.

From New York? Halifax, Nova Scotia

It's a day drive. Same temperature. Beautiful landscape & friendly people. You will not regret. And you can fly back to most airports in the UK from there.

Thank you. Will definitely look.

You can get high-end/ luxury in the Hamptons and might get a bit more for your money than a cruise. It depends what you like to do but if you like cute towns, vineyards, lovely restaurants then this would be good. I like the NYC/ Hamptons combination.

Nova Scotia is about 800 miles distant from NYC and you would also need an eTA (electronic travel authorisation) to enter Canada.

I would have a look at visiting some of the towns on Long Island as well; the outer reaches of Long Island are very nice to see. Train services operate via the LIRR out to Long Island.

Cape Cod?

Boston - fantastic city or anywhere in New England really depending on the time of year.

Boston is a bit of a let down after NYC and not that relaxing.

Cruise to Bermuda? Not too far and lovely beaches. It’s a round trip 6 day cruise I think.

The Hamptons is INCREDIBLY expensive.

Key West? You’d need to fly though unless you fancy a long drive.

Cape Cod or up to Maine. We stayed at Kennebunkport and Camden. I think you can get the train if you don’t want to drive. The Hamptons would be a similar vibe and closer to NYC. Also take a look at Rhode Island.

You can get a train to Boston from New York (about 4 hours) then take a boat to Provincetown, Cape Cod. Very relaxing, friendly, pretty place to stay. We spent 2.5 days there last year

We went to Boston and Cape Cod after NY. Cape Cod was really relaxing. We got the train to Boston and hired a car.

We did 7 night cruise to Bermuda with NCL, fantastic holiday, as relaxing as you want it to be.

We did Cape Cod after NYC. Loved it and v relaxing. Think I’d go for Chatham/ Brewster area though as quicker to get to from NYC if driving. Wouldn’t bother with Boston as you haven’t got much time. I’d just get to the Cape.

I love Halifax, but it’s a very long way from New York. A 13 hour drive.

I would recommend going up the Hudson River valley then over to the Catskills.
