The Jewel of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean ship with a capacity of 2,500 passengers, sets sail from Boston and makes day-long stops in Portland, Maine, then Bar Harbor, Maine, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, before returning back to Boston. Onboard you'll find a pool, fitness center, climbing wall, putting range, outdoor café, mini art gallery, shops, and an assortment of restaurants and bars. The lowest rate of $599 is for an inside (windowless) cabin. Upgrade to one with an ocean view for $110 per person; a balcony for $260 per person; or a suite for $700 per person.
