American Cruise Lines — Coastal & River Cruises

This roundtrip itinerary is the best way to see timeless New England ports. Our meticulously crafted excursions bring you close to the soul of each distinctive locale, from New Bedford, MA—formerly the world's whaling hub—to Newport, RI, renowned for its unbelievably grand mansions from the Gilded Age.

See ports that only American Cruise Lines can take you to and island hop from the tranquil shores of Nantucket, where each cobblestone exudes tales of the 19th century, to Martha’s Vineyard with its picturesque gingerbread cottages. On a private tour, see the breathtaking cascading shorelines of Mohegan Bluffs on Block Island. Venture to Bristol, celebrated for its elite sailing yachts crafted during the storied “Golden Age of Yachting.”

A signature moment of our New England Islands adventure is the traditional lobsterbake luncheon—an enduring celebration of coastal cuisine. Revel in the fresh flavors of lobster, clams, and corn, all cooked over coals with seaweed harvested at dawn.

Cap off a day of exploration by joining fellow adventurers at a lively onboard cocktail party. Join your fellow travelers, meet your dedicated crew, and get ready for this 8-day cruise around New England.
