Enjoy a peaceful and scenic 1-hour ferry ride from the mainland to beautiful Block Island — a charming seaside retreat that feels a world away from everyday life. As the boat glides across the water, take in the fresh ocean air and lovely coastal views. Once ashore, you’ll discover a welcoming island filled with quaint boutique-lined streets, breathtaking natural scenery, and some of the most pristine white sand beaches in the country. It’s the perfect setting to relax, reminisce, and simply enjoy the moment.
Upon arrival, we’ll make our way to the stately National Hotel, where the grand white porch invites you to sit back, relax, and savor the gentle sea breezes. With sweeping water views and classic New England charm, it’s an ideal place to enjoy a leisurely lunch. You may choose from the Pan-Seared Chicken Breast with lemon pesto beurre blanc, Fresh New England Scrod with breadcrumbs and toasted garlic lemon oil, Pasta Pomodori with ripe plum tomatoes, garlic, basil, and parmesan. Each entrée includes creamy New England clam chowder, starch, seasonal vegetable, fresh rolls with butter, and a soft drink. We’ll finish on a sweet note with a warm and comforting apple rum cobbler for dessert.
After lunch, sit back and enjoy a relaxed 1-hour guided tour of the island. You’ll learn about its rich history, admire its scenic lighthouses and bluffs, and take in panoramic coastal views — all at a comfortable pace.
Before returning to the ferry, there will be time to browse the charming local shops, pick up a keepsake, or treat yourself to a scoop of homemade ice cream. We’ll then board the ferry for a smooth ride back to the mainland — refreshed, delighted, and filled with lovely memories of a truly special day by the sea.

Begin your day with a Fireplace Feast at the historic Salem Cross Inn, a truly festive dining experience where the Innkeepers prepare your meal in authentic colonial style. Step back into the charm of 1700s America as history and hospitality come alive around you. Upon arrival, cozy up by the crackling fire with a warm mug of mulled wine or spiced cider, and savor their famous house-made cheese spread with crackers. Then take your seat for the highlight of the afternoon — succulent Prime Rib, slow-roasted to perfection on the only known authentic Roasting Jack still operating in America. Watch as it turns gently over wild cherry logs, filling the room with mouthwatering aroma. Prefer poultry? As an alternative to the Prime Rib, you may choose a Roast Stuffed Boneless Breast of Chicken, elegantly prepared and topped with a rich Supreme Sauce — a delicious option that is equally satisfying. Enjoy live holiday music and a joyful sing-along as you feast in true New England tradition. And no meal would be complete without dessert: New England’s Best Apple Pie, served warm with a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream. Afterward, browse the Inn’s remarkable collection of colonial and federal-period American antiques — a perfect ending to a timeless experience.
Next, visit Atkins Farms Country Market, a beloved apple orchard and country market in the scenic Pioneer Valley. Famous for their “Atkins Cider Donuts,” you’ll have time to shop the bakery, deli, and fresh produce — and everyone will go home with two apple cider donuts to enjoy.
Finally, experience the magic of Bright Nights at Forest Park. Travel through a dazzling 2.5-mile drive-thru wonderland featuring more than 750,000 lights. From Seuss Land and Toy Land to the peaceful Garden of Peace and Winter Woods, it’s the perfect, heartwarming finale to a festive New England day.

Celebrate the season in timeless New England style with a Boston Stocking Stuffer Tour — a festive blend of history, holiday charm, and joyful surprises.
Your day begins in the historic streets of Boston, beautifully decorated for the holidays. As you board, you’ll receive your very own Christmas stocking to carry throughout the day — the perfect place to tuck away the small “stocking stuffer” gifts you’ll receive at select stops. These delightful surprises add a playful touch to the experience while knowledgeable guides share fascinating stories about Christmas in early Boston, including the remarkable time when the Puritans outlawed the holiday. It’s a comfortable, engaging way to enjoy the city’s rich heritage and festive spirit.
Afterward, enjoy a leisurely, family-style lunch at Maggiano's Little Italy. Begin with chopped salad, stuffed mushrooms, and classic bruschetta, followed by generous portions of Mom’s Lasagna, Shrimp Scampi, Chicken Parmesan, and Oven-Roasted Pork Loin with balsamic cream sauce. Dessert features Apple Crostada and fresh fruit, with coffee, tea, and soft drinks included — a warm and satisfying meal shared in great company.
The highlight of the day is the beloved Holiday Pops performance by the Boston Pops Orchestra at Symphony Hall. A treasured tradition since 1973, this two-hour concert features the full orchestra under the direction of Keith Lockhart, joined by the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Enjoy classic holiday favorites, a spirited carol sing-along, and even a visit from Santa — all set within the elegance and superb acoustics of historic Symphony Hall. It’s a heartwarming day filled with music, memories, and the magic of the holiday season.

Begin your day with a delightful lunch at Jonathan's Restaurant, where warm hospitality and coastal flavors set the tone for a festive escape.

A chef’s choice dessert, served with coffee or tea, provides the perfect sweet finish.
Then it’s on to the main event — Christmas Prelude in the charming seaside town of Kennebunkport. Widely celebrated as one of the most enchanting holiday festivals in the country — even named the #2 Christmas Town in America by HGTV — Christmas Prelude transforms Kennebunkport into a sparkling winter wonderland.
