The American East Coast, 4 October 2030

Cruise overview

From Boston’s Freedom Trail, the course turns for Martha’s Vineyard’s Oak Bluffs, its gingerbread cottages and antique carousel setting a leisurely island tone, then continue to Newport, where Gilded Age mansions line the Cliff Walk above crashing Atlantic breakers. Sail into New York past the Statue of Liberty as Manhattan’s skyline rises to meet the yacht, before Philadelphia’s Independence Hall and Annapolis’s colonial State House trace America’s founding story along the mid-Atlantic. At Norfolk, the battleship USS Wisconsin stands watch over the largest natural harbor on the East Coast, and from Beaufort, North Carolina, tenders carry guests to Shackleford Banks, where wild Banker horses have run free for four centuries. Charleston’s church spires and Spanish moss give way to Savannah’s leafy, fountain cooled squares, then Florida’s St. Johns River city and the Space Coast lead south. Nassau brings the voyage to its close, pastel colonial buildings and the Straw Market’s color greeting you at the edge of the Bahamian sea.
