American Glory, Grand New England ex Boston Return

14 Night Cruise sailing from Boston roundtrip aboard American Glory.

Cruise Overview:

On this epic journey, travel along the picturesque waterways of New England that tell the story of American history, from the Mayflower’s landing to the Boston Tea Party. A centuries-old shipbuilding tradition lives on here in shipyards along the shoreline and schooners that adorn the harbors.

Celebrate the rich maritime heritage of seaport towns, such as Portland and Bath. Led by our team of charismatic guides, discover seaside mansions of the Gilded Age in Newport, explore the cobblestone streets of quaint island villages such as Martha’s Vineyard, and visit the coastal town of Plymouth, the site of the first Pilgrim settlement.

Experience a traditional, New England favorite, the lobsterbake luncheon. Set at the water’s edge, enjoy lobsters, clams, and mussels steamed the old-fashioned way, over a fire in kelp.

At the end of a day of discovery, be welcomed back the comfort of your sanctuary aboard the ship. Bask in the warm camaraderie of fellow guests and be treated to the best cuisine of the region.

American Glory blends the best qualities of expedition adventure cruising with the refinement, luxury, stability, and land proximity of river cruising. Observation and sitting areas will be available at the bow, while a unique Swim/Activity Platform at the stern of the ship features kayaks and a tender for local exploration.
