Destinations
Maybe it's exploring islands and lighthouses on the Chesapeake Bay or sailing the majestic, rocky coast of Maine whale watching. Or, perhaps it's walking the streets of New York City through Time Square on your way to a Broadway Show!
Instead you may be on a sunset cruise with Washington DC as your backdrop after spending your day visiting the Washington Monument, the Capitol, world renowned museums, or the Smithsonian Institute.
​
Or maybe it's exploring an uninhabited island in the Bahamas where you can walk its white, sandy beaches and snorkel in the surrounding crystal clear waters over tropical coral reefs.
