Day by day

Itinerary

1
Welcome to Boston
Known as the 'Cradle of Liberty', Boston was once home to famous sons such as Samuel Adams, Paul Revere and Benjamin Franklin. Immerse yourself in its revolutionary history or stroll along the waterfront. This evening, meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers for dinner to kick-start your New England tour.
2
Take a Historical Drive Through New England
Unlock the best of Boston walking along parts of the Freedom Trail. Stroll through Boston Common, Massachusetts State House, Granary Burying Ground established in 1660 by some of America’s most notable citizens, Old State House -- the site of the Boston Massacre and the oldest surviving public house in Boston and Faneuil Hall -- America's first Town Meeting and vital location in revolutionary politics. You'll love following the red-brick path that winds to historic sites that reveal the history of the American Revolution. Stop in historic Lexington and Concord, the site where "the shot heard round the world" was fired, marking the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. In the afternoon make your way to Vermont, driving past picturesque New England farmlands and old-world towns.
3
Uncover the Best of Vermont
Get a taste of East Coast cuisine among some of the country’s most beautiful landscapes on your New England tour. In Northfield, Vermont, enjoy a Be My Guest experience with a farmhouse lunch at Green Mountain Girls Farm. Learn how they practise regenerative and sustainable farming while raising free-range animals and growing produce in Central Vermont. After lunch, there’s the chance to join an Optional Experience cruise on Lake Champlain, where you’ll take in the region’s mountain views and shoreline history from the water. Back on land, explore the Burlington waterfront and downtown area, filled with boutique shops, cafes and breweries. Wander the cobblestoned streets of Church Street Marketplace and enjoy one of the many local eateries before settling into your hotel.
4
Discover Charming Stowe and Northern Vermont
Head to Stowe, Vermont, a quintessential fall foliage destination known for red and orange hues. This afternoon, see how the foliage of New England is in a league of its own as you journey along "The Kanc", an American Scenic Byway that cuts through the White Mountain National Forest. Admire the glowing fall colours on this untouched stretch of road and snap postcard-worthy pics at the many overlooks to remember your New England tour.
5
Embrace Autumn Hues in North Conway
This morning, join a Local Specialist for your MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience with Raven Wildlife Programs and discover the local ecology, wildlife and the science behind New England’s autumn colours. Later, take a gentle guided walk to Diana’s Baths in White Mountain National Forest, where waterfalls, rocky ledges and clear pools offer a peaceful escape in nature.
6
Savour the Flavours of Bar Harbor
From the mountains of New Hampshire to the pine forests, highlands and river valleys of Maine, New England is a classic. Descending "Downeast," the looming Atlantic swells of Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island are your destination for the day. Join a Local Specialist and naturalist for insights into the lobster fishing industry, marine ecology and local ecosystems. Further your lobster “education” with a classic lobster dinner complete with traditional sides.
7
Trek Through Colourful Acadia National Park
Acadia National Park promises sweeping coastal vistas. Visit the park's Cadillac Mountain, the highest point along the Atlantic Seaboard and the first spot in the United States where the sun rises. Take in a 360-degree panoramic view of the park and the surrounding coastal landscapes. Admire the magnificent pink granite cliffs and ancient maple forests – their leaves glowing fiery red, burnt orange and mustard yellow in the crisp autumn air. Return to Bar Harbor for free time to explore or consider joining an optional nature cruise on Frenchman Bay.
8
Take a Panoramic Drive Along the Marine Coast
Follow the Maine coast south, where rocky shoreline, maritime towns and Atlantic views define this corner of New England. The colours of the season stay with you as you arrive in Portland, a historic port city known for its working waterfront and lively food scene. Spend the afternoon exploring at your own pace before joining your fellow travellers for dinner this evening and looking back on your fall foliage journey.
9
Back to Boston and Beyond
Enjoy a final morning in New England before travelling south towards Boston. On the way, stop at Nubble Lighthouse, one of Maine’s most photographed coastal landmarks, for a last look at the Atlantic shoreline. Continue to Boston, where you can transfer to Boston Logan International Airport or to your hotel if you’re extending your stay.
