Ship sails from Manhattan, NY | Duration: 8 Days | All Shipboard Meals Included

 

Ports of Call:

 

Newport, RI

In the 19th century, Newport became the summer retreat for the rich and famous, who built opulent estates overlooking the Atlantic to showcase their wealth. Today, these meticulously preserved mansions line the famed "Mansion Row" and remain a must-see. Beyond its grand homes, Newport offers a vibrant waterfront with charming shops and gourmet restaurants. Visit historic sites like Fort Adams and the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Newport's bustling harbor is perfect for sailing, and the city's lively arts scene includes music festivals, galleries, and theaters.

 

Boston, MA

Welcome to an American city where history truly does come to life. Be sure to visit Bunker Hill Monument, Paul Revere's House, the Old North Church, Quincy Market and the mansions of Beacon Hill. Then wander Boston Common, the oldest public park in the U.S.

 

Portland, ME

Portland blends the charm of a small coastal town with the amenities of a bustling city. Explore vibrant art districts, a lively waterfront, world-class museums, expansive parks, and an array of unique shopping opportunities. Just minutes away, you can savor the picturesque views from historic lighthouses or indulge in the fresh, succulent taste of local lobster.

 

Saint John, Bay of Fundy, NB

Saint John's rich history is etched into its weather-worn facade, having withstood the tests of salt air, sea winds, and a devastating fire. These elements have all contributed to shaping Saint John into the greatest little city in the east. Be sure to visit the Fort Howe lookout, where you can admire the stunning beauty of the Bay of Fundy and spot your ship in the bustling port below.

 

Halifax, NS

Admire the rugged coastline that surrounds Halifax, home to the world's second-largest natural harbor. This beautifully preserved city, founded in 1749, is the capital of Nova Scotia. Step through history by climbing to The Citadel, where you can witness the iconic Old Town Clock and take in panoramic views of this historic city.
