New England Islands Map
Enlarged View

From craggy bluffs to sandy dune beaches, the coastlines of the select islands on this itinerary are remarkably beautiful. Each day you'll experience a different island, each with its own unique character and personality but delightfully woven into the fabric that is traditional summer in New England.

WARREN, RI: Depart from the ships' quaint Colonial homeport village.

CUTTYHUNK, MA: Discover this small quiet island oasis, the last in the remote chain of Elizabethan Islands off the western coast of Cape Cod.

NANTUCKET, MA: Once the foremost whaling port in the world, today enjoy the bustle of the yacht-filled harbor, a favorite stop of private mega-yachts. Admire historic sea captains' elegant homesteads that remain unchanged.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD, MA: An understated island retreat for celebrities and olde New Englanders alike, featuring many beaches, boutiques and cottages. Stroll up to the memorable Gay Head varicolored clay cliffs, an island landmark once used by Native American and Yankee fishermen to navigate home.

BLOCK ISLAND, RI: Head to lush Mohegan Bluffs for an up-close view of the brick Victorian-style Southeast Light built in 1874. The island features wildlife sanctuaries and many nature trails and is remarkably undeveloped.

NEWPORT, RI: Wharf after wharf is filled with world-class boutiques and restaurants. Tour the elegant summer "cottages" of the Astors and Vanderbilts along the famous mansion-dotted Cliff Walk. Relax onboard and admire historic Ft. Adams and the picturesque Newport Bridge at romantic sunset.

WARREN, RI: Disembark after a cruise up scenic Narragansett Bay and past sparsely populated Prudence Island.
