Coastal New England cruises

Coastal New England cruises along the breath-taking East Coast of North America on M/V Victory II trace the history from from the buildings of Boston and its Tea Party period to Halifax and its hilltop citadel. As you cruise this magnificent area you will experience some of the prettiest and historic sites in the United States  before your final destination, the Atlantic Ocean Port of Halifax where the hill was first fortified in 1749, the year the town of Halifax was founded. The summer houses of Newport and their old-world charm are a site to be enjoyed as are the galleries in Provincetown.
