Journey north, up the Eastern Seaboard as the cool breezes of Southern Florida turn to the blossoming spring flowers of the Northeast. This journey is a celebration of the classics: classic art, architecture, and the history of classic American and Canadian cities. Gaze upon Spanish Colonial architecture in St. Augustine. Relive the early-American era in Colonial Williamsburg, a living history museum featuring townspeople in period dress and buildings dating back to 1699. In Gloucester visit the Rocky Neck Art Colony, the country's oldest working art colony. Experience the very best the East Coast has to offer on
this brand-new itinerary.
St. Augustine: Spend the afternoon exploring historic ruins, unique architecture, and the narrowed streets of a city once used as a remote outpost by the Spanish Empire.
Charleston: The scene of major Revolutionary War naval battles, legendary pirate tales, and Civil War sieges, Charleston is brimming with history and culture. Docking in the heart of this living museum along the banks of the tranquil Ashley River, you will have the opportunity to truly appreciate Southern Antebellum culture.
Marthas Vineyard: The island of Marthas Vineyard is unique in its history and very sustainable lifestyle. The island has 6 towns. Although getting to the island without a cruise ship can be a project, the Pearl Mist takes you right to the Marthas Vineyard docks. With stately Greek revival houses dating back to the whaling era of the early 19th century, Edgartown is a seaside village of boutique shopping and pristine harbor views. For more of a beach town feel, Oak Bluffs has the Flying Horses carousel, an arcade and an easy walk to the beach, plus the history and charm of the gingerbread houses in the Methodist campgrounds. Vineyard Haven offers visitors a blend of both. For a real retreat, Chilmark/Aquinnah is the place to get away from it all.
Halifax: Nova Scotia's capital is a historic community that still shows a striking resemblance to the Halifax of the 1800s when it was a key naval station in the British Empire. The crown jewel of the town is restored and active Halifax Citadel, a military bastion that has been standing for over 250 years.

Day 2 - St. Augustine, FL
In the late 1800s, oil millionaire Henry Flagler built a number of elegant hotels and churches in St. Augustine in an attempt to fulfill his vision of establishing an American Riviera along Florida's eastern shores. Although this golden era ended in the early 1900s, Flaglers legacy remains, and his buildings grace St. Augustine as both monuments to early American opulence and architectural ingenuity. Spend the afternoon exploring historic ruins, unique architecture, and the narrowed streets of a city once used as a remote outpost by the Spanish Empire.

The first hospital established in America for the care and treatment of mental illness was founded in Williamsburg in 1773. General George Washington assembled the Continental Army in Williamsburg in 1781 for the siege of nearby Yorktown and the winning of American independence.
