You’ll then step back in time to the turn of the 20th century as we take you through the stunning Gilded Age mansions, “The Breakers” and “The Elms”, both of which initially served as summer homes for America’s wealthiest families. You will marvel at the intricate European-inspired architecture and decor and learn about the families who once lived there.

The timing couldn’t be more perfect as the heat of the day begins to cool with a calming breeze. While onboard, you can enjoy a selection of complimentary local refreshments, including coffee ice cream, shakes, and lemonade.

After the cruise, we will take you on a scenic drive through Newport while sharing fun, historical facts along the way to Fort Adams. Here you will learn about significant American military history, dating back to the 1800s while enjoying a nice view over the bay.
