Boston & the Great Museums of New England

September 14 – 18, 2026

Starting from

During a milestone year, celebrate the storied past of New England, with its rich colonial history, charming cobblestone streets, and sophisticated art scene.

As the U.S. commemorates the 250th anniversary of our independence, dig into the very roots of American art and history in Boston. Enjoy private tours of renowned museums including the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and a before-hours Harvard’s Fogg Museum led by a curator. Honor Paul Revere on a private tour of the 18th-century home where the famous patriot began his midnight ride during the American Revolution. Then, go backstage for a specially arranged tour before a performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with works by celebrated composers. Delight in afternoon tea and savor signature New England-style seafood as you unwind with scenic coastal views.
