Legendary Journeys and Adventures

Quintessentially New England, Cape Cod captivates with a legacy of coastal delights, distinctively appetizing with traditional clambakes, whale watches thoroughly exhilarating, shore towns colonial in nature and historically rich and lighthouses that stand watch to guide mariners ashore. Its nearby islands, windswept and welcoming with oceanfront beaches and gabled houses that have weathered the centuries, each have their own tales to tell.

From Boston's historic streets to the coastal landscapes of Cape Cod, Nantucket, and Newport, this journey traces the maritime heritage and evolving character of New England. Travel from the city to the Cape, where seaside villages, working harbors, and open shoreline define daily life, with opportunities to experience the region through its landscapes, traditions, and local flavors. Continue on to New Bedford, once a center of the American whaling industry, before arriving in Newport, where grand estates and oceanfront settings reflect a later chapter of coastal prosperity. Along the way, enjoy guided visits, time to explore at your own pace, and experiences that reveal both the history and present-day spirit of these distinctive destinations. Read Less

Fairmont Copley Plaza

Step inside the Gilded Age at "The Breakers"

Built for a Vanderbilt, explore Newport's crown jewel, The Breakers

A 70-room Italian Renaissance "cottage," The Breakers stands as one of Newport's most magnificent oceanfront mansions, set against sweeping views of the Atlantic. Built by Cornelius Vanderbilt II, one of the richest men in America, it was designed not simply as a summer residence, but as a statement of wealth, taste, and ambition during the height of the Gilded Age. Marble columns, ornate ceilings, and grand salons reflect a world shaped by opulence and influence, offering a vivid sense of how America's elite once lived and entertained. Today, its scale and setting still feel remarkable – a place where architecture, history, and coastal beauty come together in striking form.

Farewell dinner on Narragansett Bay

Days 6 and 7

Newport, Rhode Island

Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island forms the largest estuary in New England, an expansive natural harbor that opens to the Atlantic Ocean – and Newport, Rhode Island, sits at the southern end of the largest of the Bay's 30 islands, Aquidneck, facing the Atlantic. After a day of historic sightseeing, we invite you to join us for an exclusive farewell reception and dinner at the city's newest luxury waterfront venue, overlooking the harbor.
