Description
With a collection of picturesque islands dotting its rocky coast, summer cruising in New England is unparalleled. Voyage through the nooks and crannies of Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Block Island and Newport to experience a classic back east adventure. It’s a place where rugged bays, sandy beaches and colorful lighthouses all have individual stories longing to be told; where oyster beds breed “shucked-to-order” shellfish in mellow, sheltered harbors; and where modest colonial charm and Gilded Age beauty combine to create a feeling of sophistication and authenticity.
Board your cruise in scenic RI. Travel to the summer colony of Nantucket where elegant homes and finely-pruned gardens are part of a National Historic Landmark District and designated as the “finest surviving architectural and environmental example of a late 18th- and early 19th-century New England seaport town.” Continue to explore colonial charm on Martha’s Vineyard, known for artfully painted gingerbread houses and also known as the island where several U.S. Presidents have spent summer vacations.
Like a nostalgic waltz, the pages of history blend with stunning natural beauty on this trip. Steeped in local heritage, and replete with pristine beaches, vibrant sunsets, and the freshest of mouthwatering lobster. Cruise with us and explore the Islands of New England with a local! Experience first-hand the beauty of coastal New England in summertime and leave with a deeper understanding of its people and places.
