Stroll the many quaint ports from Rhode Island to Maine, rich in revolutionary heritage and modern day charm. New England's historic past comes alive on this seacoast cruise.

WARREN, RI: Embark from ACCL's historic homeport.

CAPE COD CANAL: Cruise under the famous Bourne and Sagamore Bridges as you sail this 7-mile waterway—the widest sea-level canal in the world.

SALEM, MA: Enjoy seeing the House of Seven Gables that inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's writings, or perhaps brush up on the history and centuries-old folklore of the 1692 witch trials.

GLOUCESTER, MA: America's oldest fishing port was first named "Le Beauport" by Samuel de Champlain because of its amazing rocky and picturesque harbor. Today it is still a working waterfront which prides itself as one of the nation's largest fishing ports.

NEWBURYPORT, MA: This preserved village, once home to the Pawtucket Native Americans, is a favorite for lovers of architecture due to its active interest in historical preservation. Stroll the last few miles of the 177-mile Merrimack River.

PORTSMOUTH, NH: Settled in 1623, Portsmouth is the nation's third-oldest city. This historic port city includes cobblestoned streets and the beautiful waterfront Prescott Park.

PORTLAND, ME: A lively city with a working waterfront, Portland blends the character of yesteryear with an eclectic twist. The restored Old Port is not to be missed. Visit nearby Freeport—home to many brand-name factory outlets.
