Princess Cruises is offering a unique new cruisetour celebrating the upcoming 250th anniversary of America, which is in 2026, for travelers embarking on a Canada & New England cruise starting in 2025.
The Historic America cruisetour is a seven-night, hosted land tour with overnight stays in Washington, D.C., Williamsburg, Staunton, Gettysburg and Philadelphia. It begins before the seven-day Canada & New England cruise onboard the Enchanted Princess, which sails roundtrip from New York City.
The cruisetour includes hotel stays, transportation, sightseeing and most breakfasts and dinners.
It includes a tour of the highlights of the nation’s capital, including Arlington Cemetery, Embassy Row, National Cathedral and more; George Washington’s Mount Vernon and Jamestown Settlement; Colonial Williamsburg; Richmond National Battlefield Park and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello estate; Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and Gettysburg Battlefield; and the historic highlights of Philadelphia.
"Visiting our nation's capital, nearby historic cities and landmarks always ranks high on travelers' lists of places to visit in their lifetime," said Terry Thornton, chief commercial officer, Princess Cruises. "We make traveling to historic America easy, educational and memorable with our knowledgeable and inspiring tour guides sharing the incredible stories of our country's settlers, leaders, landmarks and historic sites. With the upcoming 250th anniversary of America in 2026, now is the time to visit our nation's historic landmarks and celebrate our independence."
