Friday — Newport & the Gilded Age

Rising early to head south, travel along the coast to the beguiling town of Newport, Rhode Island. Discover this legendary seaside resort and summer playground for this country’s first millionaires and home of America’s first castles. Travel along the shoreline via the spectacular “10 mile drive”, admiring regal mansions against the backdrop of the magnificent Atlantic. Guests may revel in the luxury of the Vanderbilt’s “summer cottage” - the Breakers – a sprawling mansion with 70 rooms illustrating the Vanderbilt’s role in the Gilded Age. A second mansion they will tour is well-known Marble House.

After viewing the mansions, guests will transfer to the Atlantic Beach Club for lunch, followed by a leisurely coach ride along Ocean Drive.
