Day 1

Arrive Boston

The Red Sox and Celtics, the Freedom Trail and Boston Cream Pie, America’s oldest city, ‘Beantown’ extends a warm welcome. Meet your Travel Director this afternoon. Maybe you want to head down to the Seaport District to discover just how seriously Boston takes its reputation as a seafood capital. Local specialities include ‘scrod’, fresh lobster and creamy chowder, each cooked fresh, steaming and delicious.

  • Accommodation

    Holiday Inn Boston - Cambridge Area


Follow the cobblestones of the Freedom Trail, ticking off historical sites like Quincy Market, the State Capitol and Boston Common. Leave Boston behind on your New England tour, travelling to ‘America’s Hometown’ of Plymouth. Later, wind back the clock with a visit to the Plymouth Patuxet Museums, a meticulously recreated version of the original 17th-century Plymouth Colony. You'll even see a full-scale reproduction of the Mayflower II, one of the many hundreds of ships that made the transatlantic crossing to the Americas in the 1600s.

  • Accommodation

    Riviera Beach Resort, South Yarmouth


Depart the hotel and head for Provincetown at the very tip of Cape Cod, rolling along the Old King’s Highway. First stop? The Salt Pond Visitor Center — the place to get the lowdown on the Cape’s wild side. Then it’s off to artsy Provincetown. Think galleries, cafes and a big splash of Portuguese heritage from its fishing days in the 1800s. In the afternoon, swap the seaside for the vines with a visit to Truro Vineyards. Try their signature cranberry wine — Cape Cod in a glass. Wrap it all up with a Choice Experience cruise through Hyannis Harbour, where you’ll tick off lighthouses, Squaw Island and the Kennedy Compound. 

  • Accommodation

    Riviera Beach Resort, South Yarmouth


This morning, cross the Cape Cod Canal to visit one of New England's iconic cranberry bogs before continuing to Rhode Island on your New England tour. You will get a unique glimpse into the cranberry farming business, learning all about the cultivation and harvesting of cranberries. If you are lucky, you will also witness the iconic flooded bogs and vibrant red cranberries being prepared for fall harvest. In Newport, take in the dazzling mansions dotted along the coastline dubbed Newport's 10-Mile Ocean Scenic Drive. You'll have the chance to see the collection of mansions built by New York's wealthiest families on our Choice Experience visiting the Breakers Mansion, a summer “cottage” of the Vanderbilt’s, before continuing to Providence, home of Brown University.

  • Accommodation

    Graduate Providence


Kick off the day with an Iconic Breakfast at Francesca’s in Rhode Island. This family-owned diner dishes up Mexican favourites alongside classic American breakfast staples — a tasty nod to the state’s underrepresented Mexican community. Then it’s on to Shelburne Falls, a little town with a big surprise — the Bridge of Flowers. This former trolley bridge now blooms with colour from end to end, and it’s as photo-worthy as it sounds. By afternoon, you’ll roll into Killington. The best part? Two nights here and the freedom to spend the afternoon however you like. Hike, relax, or simply enjoy the mountain air — it’s all on your terms.

    Breakfast

Green peaks and green valleys, travel past the appropriately named Green Mountains to Vermont's capital, Montpelier. Meander through the charming streets and past the state’s gold-domed capital building before pulling up at Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks. Go local, tasting Sugar on Snow, a traditional sweet treat made by pouring hot, maple syrup over ice. Grab your camera for a quick stop in Stowe before pulling into Killington to round out the day of your New England tour.

    Breakfast

New Englanders know a thing or two about incredible scenery, and you’ll be right there with them today crossing from Vermont’s Green Mountains to New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Keep your camera handy as you travel along “The Kanc”, a historic National Scenic Byway, leading to your North Conway home for the next two nights.

  • Accommodation

    Fox Ridge Resort

    Breakfast

Red, burnt orange and yellow leaves stretch out in every direction as you head into the White Mountains. Tick off the tallest peak in the Northeast, Mount Washington, on your way through Crawford Notch State Park, and pull up at Silver Cascade Falls, which twists, turns and cascades 250 feet down the side of Mount Jackson. Your time in North Conway isn’t over yet, so get local and stroll past the restored buildings, antique shops and treasure-trove bookshops of the historic downtown.

    Breakfast

It’s the last day on your New England tour, but the fun isn’t over yet! Vast forests, pretty seaside villages, and cliff-lined shores will dot your adventure through Maine.

End the day back where it all began, Boston.
