CAPE COD & THE ISLANDS

July 13–19, 2024

Located in eastern Massachusetts, Cape Code “The Cape” is among New England’s favorite summer vacation destinations, and it thrives on tourism, beautiful ocean beaches and small unique businesses. Experience windswept seashore, dune-studded landscapes, inshore forests, and historic sights. Visit amazing Boston, mansion-filled Newport, RI, Provincetown, a Cranberry Bog, and ferry to the two most scenic and famous Islands off ‘The Cape’, Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket. The Cape’s recorded history starts with the Plymouth Pilgrims who first set foot in the New World at the tip of Cape Cod in 1620. En route from Boston to Cape Cod visit Plymouth Plantation, and see Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II, recently renovated for the 400th Anniversary of the historic voyage. On another day visit a traditional Cranberry Bog, see scenic Lighthouses & travel to the tip of Cape Cod to visit charming Provincetown. The island of Martha’s Vineyard is only seven miles off the coast of Massachusetts, but a world all its own. ‘The Vineyard’ is a true island as there are no bridges from the mainland, and most visitors arrive by ferry or plane. Explore the seaside city of Newport, RI famous for its historic mansions and an upscale downtown filled with cobblestone streets & brick sidewalks. The sight of the island of Nantucket coming into view from the bow of a ferry is a stirring one as lines of foaming breakers crash against vast stretches of sand on the shore while 17th-century architecture dots the downtown horizon.
