New England: Crystal Cruises

The opulent Crystal Symphony is a throwback to the glory days of luxury cruising, and it's ideal for the aspiring Astors who want some extra flair with their fall colors. Elegantly appointed staterooms, luxuriant lounges and fine dining add a dash of decadence to the foliage—perfect if you prefer to do your leaf-peeping from the privacy of your own verandah. Unwind in the full-service spa, try your luck in the casino, admire the views from the handsome teak promenade. There's nothing modest about the 940-passenger ship, which weighs in at a hefty 50,000 tons, but personalized touches like butler service and customized excursions make for an intimate experience.
