We’ll depart from NYC in the morning for the tree lined campus of Yale University, where we’ll stroll along the grounds of this centuries-old Ivy League institution. After lunch, our tour will continue to Mystic Aquarium*, you have chance to see their extensive marine life exhibits, which include popular Beluga Whales. Alternatively, passengers may choose to visit the Historic Ship Nautilus & Submarine Force Museum*. At our next stop in Newport, Rhode Island we’ll visit the Breakers Mansion and get a sense of the past wealth of America's Gilded Age at the summer home of the Vanderbilt family. Next it’s on to Plymouth(seasonal), site of Pilgrims’ landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620. You will be shocked at the scale of The Mayflower replica that is anchored there, and realize how difficult the crossing must have been on such a small boat. The tour arrives in Boston in the evening, where we will have the opportunity to visit downtown Boston and Quincy Market, one of America’s oldest gathering and marketplaces.

Special Option：The Submarine Force Museum, located on the Thames River in Groton, Connecticut, maintains the world's finest collection of submarine artifacts. It is the only submarine museum operated by the United States Navy, and as such is the primary repository for artifacts, documents and photographs relating to U.S. Submarine Force history. The museum traces the development of the "Silent Service" from David Bushnell's Turtle, used in the Revolutionary War, to the Ohio and Virginia class submarines.$10.00 /Adult,$8.00/kid (under 11) shuttle bus services fee, and special upgrade operation costs.

If time permits, there will also be an opportunity for a New England Aquarium tour*, where you can view some of the world's most fascinating and magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, or a relaxing Boston Harbor Cruise*.
