Boston & New England Holidays
Boston and New England holidays are russet red autumns, white-sand beaches, waterfront towns, lobster pots and wooden docks
A halcyon escape of all-American charm, New England feels a world away from the everyday. Marvel at the mountain views, drift away on bone-white beaches and try the legendary lobster rolls.
New England’s white sand beaches, syrupy sugar shacks, iconic lighthouses and swathes of pristine coastline pander to a romantic image. You’ll find it all in the states of Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. You can settle down in Portland’s pretty waterfront city, dine farm-to-table in the birch-covered Berkshires and dream away your days on Cape Cod's stunning National Seashore.
Breeze through Boston’s wonderfully wanderable harbour-city where Harvard University students share the sidewalks with artists, baseball fans and city slickers. Come for the Irish pubs, the seafood restaurants and to snag tickets to a Red Sox game. Visit New England in autumn for fiery auburn and orange foliage. Come in summer and sail around Newport and Nantucket. And return in winter to see the snowy White Mountains and drink apple cider by roaring fires.

Where is Boston and New England?
Boston is one of the USA’s oldest cities and is New England’s largest. It’s the capital state of Massachusetts and is situated on Massachusetts Bay in northeastern USA. Its compact in size and over one fourth is made up of the Charles River, Boston Harbour and part of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s the gateway to the rest of New England, which is made up of five other states — Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maine, all sitting along the Atlantic Ocean. Martha’s Vineyard lies 7 miles off the Cape Cod peninsula and is reached by ferry or plane.
Boston
Compact in size and with plenty of European influences, Boston is one of the USA’s prettiest cities, thanks to a gorgeous skyline, its Back Bay café culture and plenty of history and architecture. Walk the two-and-a-half-mile Freedom Trail for a step back in time through American history, see Old Masters at the Museum of Fine Arts, go modern with a trip to the Skywalk Observatory, catch a Red Sox ball game at Fenway Park and head to Beacon Hill for gorgeous Victorian brick-row houses and Massachusetts State House. A Boston Duck Tour will take you by unique mode of transport through Boston’s streets before landing in the Charles River and if you’ve ever had American University dreams, head across the river to Cambridge for a peek at Harvard University.
New England
Get out of the city and head to the coast to experience the other captivating states of New England. From whale-watching to watersports and white-sand beaches to colonial architecture, you’ll find yourself embracing picture-postcard all-American charm loved by royalty, celebrities and Presidents of past. Off the shores of glorious beachy Cape Cod, you’ve got Martha’s Vineyard and beautiful Nantucket. New England life is rustic family-owned inns, water and beach – lighthouses still flash out warnings, super yachts dock in the harbours and clam shacks pop up everywhere.
What to do in New England
Chase the Connecticut Wine Trail through beautiful countryside, follow Rhode Island’s Newport Cliff Walk past the back gardens of millionaire mansions and don’t leave Vermont without trying the maple syrup or Maine without trying the lobster. Hop on board a windjammer sailboat, look out for moose and puffins, catch the spectacular Waterfire Providence show in Rhode Island in May and October and visit mid September to mid October for that famous New England Fall.
Getting around
With its stunning coastline and scenic roadways, New England is an ideal self-drive destination. You can start in Boston and tour all the states and towns with our handcrafted self-drive itinerary. It's a 5½-hour drive from Boston to Acadia National Park in Maine, and only 2½ hours by car to The White Mountains in New Hampshire. Downtown Boston is easily walkable, has lots of taxis and a good public transport system including the ‘T’ subway, which provides access to all the main attractions. In Maine, you can catch a ferry or charter a boat across to the Casco Bay Islands for the day. In all the New England states you’ll find driving a leisurely and scenic way to get around, and due to their small size, hiring a bicycle to explore is also a great option.
Food and drink
In a destination known for its seaside living, you’re never going to be far from a lobster shack or ocean-sweet seafood dinner. Imagine summers spent in chic restaurants dining alfresco as star guest chefs prepare lavish menus and experience culinary events around charming towns that show off the best chefs and mixologists across New England. Expect farm-to-table dining, lamb loin with rhubarb and snap peas sprinkled with salt. There’s that famous Maine lobster, Boston’s cream pie, Rhode Island’s clam chowder and sweet maple syrup in Vermont. Pop by the ‘Cheers’ TV bar in Boston for beers, go European in Little Italy and head to rooftop bars for ice-cream sandwiches and cocktails. And those with a sweet tooth should put a tour of the Ben & Jerry’s Factory in Vermont on the list of things to do. Come autumn, dine by roaring fires in restaurants with ocean views and settle into quaint little bistros for pumpkin puree and seared day-boat scallops.
Shopping
In Boston, there’s Julia Child’s beloved Savenor’s Market, luxury shopping plazas and designer stores in Back Bay and Newbury Street, and antiques and one-of-a-kind gifts in Beacon Hill. The rest of New England is void of big chains, instead offering delightful independent boutiques and artisan shops with everything from pottery and painting to jewellery and woodwork. Expect to pick up colourful maxi dresses, woollen socks, cute gifts and preppy basics.
Resort fees
It is standard practice for resorts/hotels within the USA to charge a mandatory resort fee which is payable locally. This fee can be anywhere between 5USD to 40 USD per room per night and is not included in the cost of your Kuoni holiday.
