Why Take A Fourth of July Fireworks Cruise?

Newport is not just a beautiful coastal town; it’s a place steeped in American history.

Founded in 1639, Newport played a significant role during the American Revolution.

From its historic mansions to the oldest synagogue in the United States, Touro Synagogue, the town is a living museum.

Celebrating the Fourth of July here adds an extra layer of significance, making your cruise not just fun but educational too.

The city’s historical landmarks and colonial-era architecture provide a stunning backdrop to the fireworks display.

Imagine sailing past sites where revolutionary heroes once walked as you await the brilliant fireworks show.

It’s a history lesson and celebration rolled into one.
