Smaller is better than bigger when cruising New England’s waterways. The Nantucket Clipper is an ideal vessel for exploring. With her shallow draft, she can sail into coves and harbors that are inaccessible to larger yachts, and can dock alongside many small towns and villages.

The spacious Observation Lounge serves as the main gathering place for informative briefings and social gatherings. A window-lined dining room overlooks the spectacular coastal scenery, and enhances the healthy regionally- influenced American food – every dish is individually prepared to order.

Experts are aboard Nantucket Clipper throughout your cruise, including historians or naturalists. They provide in-depth information on the cultural and natural history of the islands and coastal destinations visited each day, with informal talks that are given before and after your private shore excursions. Enjoy also the services of Tauck’s own destination specialists, your Tauck Directors, who are with you on land and at sea through your entire voyage. The All-American crew is known for their friendliness and attentive service, making every day of your cruise memorable as you discover the pleasures of the islands of Maritime New England!
