Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Step inside the world's most authentic 17th-century living museum — the recreated Pilgrim village, Wampanoag Homesite, and the iconic Mayflower II tall ship — all in one sweeping half-day. This is American origin story, told in breathtaking, immersive detail.
Board a dedicated naturalist-led vessel from Plymouth and head straight to Stellwagen Bank — one of the Atlantic's richest whale feeding grounds — for close encounters with humpbacks, finbacks, and minkes in their open-ocean habitat.
Glide through Plymouth's most picturesque neighbourhoods, headlands, and hidden viewpoints in a signature electric vehicle with a local expert guide — an intimate, whisper-quiet way to take in the whole town with zero rush.
Join a real Plymouth lobsterman aboard a working boat to haul traps, handle live lobsters, and learn the centuries-old craft of New England lobstering — a genuinely rare, hands-on encounter with the sea's most iconic harvest.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
