Hospital Foundation announces cruise offer

The Southeast Missouri Hospital Foundation is offering a travel opportunity that also will help support the work of the foundation.

Travelers may board the new Crown Princess and set sail on a seven-night cruise from Sept. 29 to Oct. 6. The Crown Princess, built in 2006, accommodates 3,000 passengers.

The ship will sail roundtrip from New York to Halifax, Nova Scotia; Saint John, New Brunswick; Bar Harbor, Maine; Boston, Mass.; and Newport, R.I. Highlights of this autumn cruise include the history of the ruggedly scenic coastline and waters of Canada and New England.

Pricing includes stateroom or balcony stateroom accommodations, including a seven-night cruise with meals and entertainment, roundtrip air flights from St. Louis to New York, taxes and fees, transportation to and from the airport to the pier. The prices include a $100 tax deductible contribution to the Southeast Missouri Hospital Foundation. Those interested should reserve early to ensure a space and the best stateroom selection. Both pre- and post-cruise packages in New York also are available.
