New England Islands – American Maverick
All aboard for an exploration of the beautiful New England islands. Nantucket Island and Martha’s Vineyard both inhabit lovely flower-strewn meadows, white sand beaches, and trails forged by generations of American Indians.
Venture to what’s been named by The Nature Conservancy as one of the ‘Last Great Places on Earth’ in the charming Block Island, which is 10 square miles of bliss. Celebrate the yachts that have commanded the world’s most exclusive sporting event for years at the renowned America’s Cup Hall of Fame in Bristol, RI. In Newport, RI, one of the prettiest ports in New England, take in even more boating history, tour the summer cottages of the Vanderbilt’s and Astor’s who ushered in the Gilded Age. Explore the nation’s oldest synagogue, first church steeple, tavern or library – all found in this whimsical City by the Sea.
There is much to do during this week long itinerary, and your vacation will only be enhanced by your on board experience. Feasting on local seafood (including lobster), conversing with guest speakers, and taking in this exceptional opportunity to spend 8-Days aboard a beautiful small ship, you surely won’t forget this exploration of America’s maritime background.
