Cruise Overview:

On this brand-new itinerary, join us for an enthralling journey through New England's autumnal glory, where the leaves shift from greens to a kaleidoscope of golds and reds. This vibrant fall foliage cruise takes you along the historic coastlines of Maine, where the timeless craft of shipbuilding lives beside stunning natural scenery.

Wander the cobbled streets of Portsmouth and Gloucester, each town a living museum of maritime history. As you continue, the seaport of Martha’s Vineyard unfolds before you, alongside the opulent mansions of Newport, RI—each estate a narrative of elegance and architectural finesse from the Gilded Age. Discover Sag Harbor, a treasure on Long Island, where art galleries and boutiques burst with local art and one-of-a-kind finds. At Mystic Seaport, experience history up-close in a recreated 19th-century village, where you can engage with skilled artisans preserving the crafts of their forebears.

Conclude your journey with a sunset cruise around the iconic Statue of Liberty, silhouetted against the twinkling panorama of the New York City skyline. This trip isn't just a passage through places, but a gateway to unforgettable stories and the hidden splendors of New England in the fall.
