New England

Massachusetts provides a gateway into New England, with most visitors choosing to fly into Boston International Airport. The modern face of Boston belies its rich heritage. Perfect for a city break, it’s home to an exceptional array of fine hotels, restaurants, shops, nightlife and attractions, and is easy to get around. The downtown area is home to the key historic sites, all linked by the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail; together the museums, meeting houses, churches, burial grounds and even a ship tell the story of America’s Revolution and Civil War. There’s also a thriving harbour, the chic and wealthy Beacon Hill area and, of course, Harvard University.

Just a short drive from the bustling city of Boston, Cape Cod is hard to resist. It offers sandy beaches, spectacular coastal sightseeing and the village of Hyannis from where you can catch a ferry to the bewitching islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

Scenic New Hampshire

New Hampshire is synonymous for its scenic beauty - from Mount Washington in the northern White Mountains to the ocean beaches near Hampton in the south. The forests and lakes of this New England state offer numerous opportunities for memorable summer vacations in the great outdoors. Welcoming and comfortable, this is an area of small towns, white-steeple churches, covered bridges and the majestic White Mountains.

Rhode Islands ocean lifestyle

Rhode Island, this is a yachter’s paradise. Whether you want to ogle at the magnificent ocean-going yachts, set sail yourselves or simply soak up the atmosphere on dry land, you will be enchanted by Newport. It oozes maritime sophistication and is as pretty as a picture. Only 37 miles east to west and 48 miles north to south “Little Rhody” has 400 miles of coastline, a great sailing tradition and Newport, situated at the entrance to Narragansett Bay, attracts some of the wealthiest yachtsmen in the world. This little state offers more than just water however, and more than 60 percent of its total area is covered in woodland, carefully preserved in 53 state parks, making it a perfect place to indulge in camping, hiking and cycling.

Connecticut charm

As a result of its close proximity to New York City, Connecticut assumes some of the ‘Big Apple’ cosmopolitan chic while being able to still retain its distinctive New England character and charm. The seashore is a delight - dotted with colonial villages set amidst beautiful beaches and coves; while inland, the countryside is easy on the eye with a landscape that is almost like England in places. There are vibrant cities and major attractions for couples as well as families throughout the state – explore great shopping and dining, casinos and museums and even maritime excursions.
