Embrace history and glamour on this 8-Day women-only tour as you travel with a small group from Massachusetts to Rhode Island. Follow the red-brick Freedom Trail in Boston to see where the U.S. took shape. On the shores of Cape Cod Bay, see Plymouth, a coastal town famous for its rich history as the landing site of the Pilgrims in 1620; visit the living history museum at Plimoth Patuxet. At Martha's Vineyard, visit Oak Bluffs, an idyllic town with gingerbread-like cottages. Indulge in a Sea-to-Table feast filled with fish caught from local fishermen, fresh produce from nearby farms and delicacies picked by foragers. In the seaside city of Newport, board an 80-foot schooner to cruise the coastline, taking in views of historical buildings and the homes of the rich and famous — and learn about the area’s past as a pirates’ haven.

Tour Itinerary

Day 1

Boston, often described as America’s most European city, is a captivating blend of history, art, and culinary delights. Upon your arrival at the Hyatt Regency, nestled in the heart of downtown, you're just moments from sights such as the historic Faneuil Hall and the fashionable Newbury Street. Take a leisurely stroll through the charming South End or along the picturesque Charles River Esplanade. This evening, meet your Travel Director and fellow guests for a delightful dinner, marking the beginning of your unforgettable journey.

Day 2

Trace the footsteps of America’s founding history on a guided walk along Boston’s Freedom Trail, exploring landmarks that shaped the nation’s earliest days. In Plymouth, step aboard the Mayflower II, a full-scale replica of the ship that carried the Pilgrims across the Atlantic. At Plimoth Patuxet, enjoy a Taste of Two Cultures lunch featuring traditional English fare and indigenous dishes. Afterwards, delve into the daily lives and evolving relationships of the early settlers and Wampanoag people on a guided tour. Your day concludes with a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at Pilgrim Hall Museum, where you’ll gain insight into the vital roles of women in the Plymouth colony and how their contributions shaped the settlement’s survival and legacy.

Day 3

Cape Cod offers a day of discovery through one of New England’s most distinctive coastal landscapes. Explore the history of the Wampanoag, the First Peoples of this region, whose relationship with these shores reaches back thousands of years, alongside stories of European settlement, fishing communities, lighthouse keepers and the life-saving services that once patrolled the coast. Enjoy lunch at leisure and time to explore Provincetown, with the opportunity to join an Optional Experience with Art’s Dune Tours, an off-road exploration through the protected dunes of Cape Cod National Seashore, before returning to your hotel.

Day 4

Your day begins with a ferry ride from Hyannis to the enchanting island of Nantucket, aboard Hy-Line Cruises. On arrival, set out on the “Notable Nantucket Women” walking tour, guided by a Local Expert from the Nantucket Historical Association. Stroll through the island’s storied downtown, uncovering tales of the women who influenced the rise and fall of the whaling industry and shaped the island’s domestic life. Following lunch, enjoy some unhurried time to explore Nantucket’s quaint streets at your own pace before sailing back to Hyannis, carrying with you the unique heritage and remarkable stories of the women of Nantucket.
