Fall on the Chesapeake by Coastal Cruiser & Vintage Train

 

Seven-night Cruise with Pre-Cruise Train + Hotel Option: for a low add-on price, an exquisite 'pre-cruise' package includes the fabled Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia as well as vintage private train, the 'Greenbrier Limited' on the stunningly beautiful day trip from the Greenbrier to Baltimore via the New River Gorge during all of its Autumn splendor.

 

One of the most enchanting areas in this country is without question Chesapeake Bay, with its centuries of history, lovely shoreline and quaint towns like Oxford and St. Michaels, Maryland, Yorktown, and Virginia, all set off by scenic lighthouses, schooners and wildlife refuges. 

Of course, while some may disagree, we find Fall the most glorious time to explore the Chesapeake and we know of no finer way to do so then by coastal ship, aboard a 'pocket' liner carrying only 100 lucky guests, all in large outside cabins, in a casual and informal setting. By touring the area this way, you can glide into ports accessible only to small ships like Williamsburg and Yorktown, VA and Crisfield and Tangier Island on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Other highlights include historic St. Michaels and Annapolis and we offer all of this, in a leisurely week-long voyage, sailing round-trip from Baltimore aboard the splendid 'American Eagle' of American Cruise Lines.

 

But, what nicer way to begin an Autumn Vacation than with a few nights at America's most fabled resort, the opulent Greenbrier in West Virginia, a treat that awaits our guests for two nights before we board the American Eagle! And, in keeping with the stylish comfort of this trip, we are offering, at a low add-on price, an exquisite 'pre-cruise' package thatGreenBrier Limited includes the fabled Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia as well as our own vintage private train, the 'Greenbrier Limited' on the stunningly beautiful day trip from the Greenbrier to Baltimore via the New River Gorge during all of its Autumn splendor.

With a relaxed pace, America's grandest resort, the Greenbrier, a vintage private train and country club cruising through Chesapeake Bay, this one-time holiday, hosted by Barbara Abegglen is certain to sell out. With great style, comfort and visual splendor, there is only one thing missing, you. We invite you to join us.


Features:

    * Fully escorted by professional tour manager Barbara Abegglen, from start to finish.Map

    * Overnight deluxe hotel stay in Baltimore the evening of September 25th with plenty of time to enjoy this historic city the following day before we sail.

    * A special sailing day bon voyage luncheon at Baltimore's splendid redone Inner Harbor at renowned Phillips Seafood, famed for its crab dishes, is a highlight before we board the mini-liner American Eagle.

    * Seven-night Chesapeake Bay Cruise round-trip from Baltimore aboard the 'American Eagle' featuring huge, roomy cabins (all with large picture window or private veranda), excellent dining with meals cooked to order and featuring regional specialties, complimentary cocktails, all in a casual and informal setting. Better still, our mini-liner takes you to magical and out of the way places a big ship could not dream of going, all with a friendly and attentive All-American crew. While more costly than big mega-ships, the ease of only 100 guests, the large cabins, the oversized bathrooms, open single-seating dining, remarkably fine cuisine, the onboard historians and naturalists, to name a few, make it worth every penny.

    * Ports of call including Williamsburg, Yorktown, Crisfield, Tangier Island, all in Virginia, Solomans Island, Cambridge,Oxford, St. Michaels, and Annapolis all in Maryland. There is no finer way to see this historic and picturesque area, at the ideal time of the year, than with us.

    * Low cost airline or train add-on fares home from Baltimore after the cruise starting at only $99. per person.
