Enjoy cruising along North America’s stunning East Coast as the M/V Victory II traces historic sites from the Tea Party-era buildings of Boston to the hilltop citadel in Halifax. Along the way, you’ll experience the postcard-pretty sites in the United States as well as Canada's Atlantic Ocean ports. Revel in the old-world elegance of Newport’s summer homes and explore galleries in lively Provincetown. Tour the first Pilgrim settlement in Plymouth and the old port waterfronts of Portland. Then sail to Bar Harbor, the gateway to the mountains, and the spectacular cliffs of neighboring Acadia National Park, before arriving in Halifax.

Welcome to Boston, Massachusetts. This capital city was founded in 1630 and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It played a key role in the American Revolution and the freedom of our country today. Provincetown is located on the northern tip of the Cape Cod Peninsula where the Mayflower landed in 1620 before heading to Plymouth. For our shore excursions, guests will enjoy our "Dolphin Fleet" adventure, a whale watching expedition with an onboard naturalist sailing into the deep waters of Cape Cod, a Trolley Tour of Provincetown, including the extraordinary Pilgrim Monument and the Provincetown Museum, a visit to the remarkable Cape Cod National Seashore with its rolling sand dunes, and a strolling along Commerial Street exploring the narrow lanes of the gallery district.

Newport is synonymous with Mansions and grand homes of the "Gilded Age." America's richest and most famous families flocked to this elegant seaside resort and turned it into their summer playground. Newport has been called "America's Versailles" becasue of the elaborate archtecture in its National Historic Landmarks district. We will visit The Breakers, home of the Vanderbilts and grandest of all Newport's sumer cottages, The Elms, built in 1898 and designed with the French Château d'Asnieres in mind, and have free time to explore the "Old Port" in this lovely maritime community.

You will have a choice of visiting the Plimouth Plantation or Martha's Vineyard. In the morning those heading to the Plimouth Plantation will experience Cape Cod Bay and Stellwagen Bank for a mesmorizing whale watching expedition. In the afternoon, journey to the Plimoth Plantation, a living history museum bringing the daily activities of colonial America to life. In addition to learning about the Pilgrims, you will leave with an appreciation of the Native American Wampanoag tribe and their relationship with the Pilgrims during the colonial era. At the conclusion of our visit, guests can see Plymouth Rock for themselves. Martha's Vineyard is the largest island off the coastal United States that is unconnected to the mainland by bridge or tunnel. It features a profusion of gingerbread cottages, fishing villages, lighthouses, fabulous beaches and the famous Aquinnah cliffs. Those going to Martha's Vineyard will begin their visit in the community of Oak Bluffs, onward to the year-round seaport of Vineyard Haven, with its many boutiques, beautiful harbor and one of the five island lighthouses. After lunch onboard, take a 20-mile scenic ride "up-island" through the historic farming towns of Chilmark and West Tisbury, with beautiful barns, stone walls, and scenic overlooks, and visiting the working fishing village of Menemsha, the Cliffs of Aquinnah, and the 1799 Gay Head lighthouse. We return down-island to Edgartown to view the elegant homes of whaling captains with their turn of the century charm and a stop at the famous Edgartown lighthouse.

Portland's waterfront combines active fishing wharves with warehouses, shops and museums. Departing from the port, we willl take a picturesque drive through the elegant Victorian Mansion district, past the boyhood home of American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and out to Casco Bay, and the famous Portland Head Light. After lunch onboard, take a short ride to Kennebunkport, a shipbuilding mecca since the early 1600s. This New England community has long been the summer residence of President G. W. Bush. After soaking up the maritime atmosphere of this quaint community, make our way back through the architecturally significant homes of nearby Kennubunk, visiting the Franciscan Monastery and pausing by the quirky "wedding cake house."

Our first stop will be at lovely Sand Beach, flanked by pink Granite walls and opening to the Atlantic on one side. We will motor up Cadillac Mountain to the extraordinary Thunder Hole and take in the view from the highest elevation on the eastern seaboard, with stunning views across Frenchman’s Bay to the Atlantic Ocean below.
