Highlights

Boston: Trace America’s path to independence with your Travel Director as you stroll past Boston’s iconic sites. See Boston Common, the oldest public park in the United States; the red-bricked Granary Burying Ground where Samuel Adams rests; and the evocative Old State House, the spark site of the Boston Massacre. 

Cape Cod: Journey through Cape Cod National Seashore, nearly 40 miles of protected coastline shaped by beaches, dunes and lighthouses. At the Salt Pond Visitor Center, take in views across Salt Pond and Nauset Marsh before exploring exhibits on Wampanoag heritage, maritime history, fishing, lifesaving stations and the evolution of tourism on Cape Cod and its enduring relationship with the Atlantic coast.

Itinerary

Embrace history and glamour on this 8-Day women-only tour as you travel with a small group from Massachusetts to Rhode Island. Follow the red-brick Freedom Trail in Boston to see where the U.S. took shape. On the shores of Cape Cod Bay, see Plymouth, a coastal town famous for its rich history as the landing site of the Pilgrims in 1620; visit the living history museum at Plimoth Patuxet. At Martha's Vineyard, visit Oak Bluffs, an idyllic town with gingerbread-like cottages. Indulge in a Sea-to-Table feast filled with fish caught from local fishermen, fresh produce from nearby farms and delicacies picked by foragers. In the seaside city of Newport, board an 80-foot schooner to cruise the coastline, taking in views of historical buildings and the homes of the rich and famous — and learn about the area’s past as a pirates’ haven.
