After a buffet breakfast, depart on an unforgettable voyage aboard the "Hornblower" cruiser to the base of Niagara Falls. As you travel closer to the thunderous Falls, you'll take in breathtaking views and the roar of the mighty waters.

Niagara Falls > Washington, D.C.

After a buffet breakfast, depart for Washington, D.C., our nation's capital, arriving in the late afternoon. Bordered by the states of Maryland and Virginia, Washington, D.C., is home to grand neoclassical monuments and iconic buildings housing the federal government's three branches — the Capitol, the White House, and the Supreme Court. The capital greets you with a wealth of scenic views, from the Potomac River to the beautiful National Mall, a landscaped park that contains and borders numerous celebrated museums, art galleries, cultural institutions, and memorials.

Washington D.C.

After a buffet breakfast, we begin our city tour, meeting in front of the residence of the most powerful person in the world — a truly awe-inspiring sight. Along the way, we come across the timeless obelisk honouring George Washington, the first president of the United States. Beyond it, facing the obelisk, we visit the imposing Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to our beloved "Honest Abe," the 16th president of our nation. Continuing to Arlington Cemetery, we view the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the final resting place of three unidentified American service members, guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by members of the Old Guard. Finally, we visit the venerated grave of John F. Kennedy, lit by its eternal flame, set by Jacqueline Kennedy on November 25, 1963. Accommodations provided at the hotel.

Washington, D.C. > Philadelphia > New York

After a buffet breakfast, we set off for New York, pausing in Philadelphia for a brief visit to the Old City Historic District, which holds America's celebrated "most historic square mile." Christened the "City of Brotherly Love" by its founder, William Penn, in 1682 — from the Greek words phileo (love) and adelphos (brother) — this is the very place where the Founding Fathers proclaimed liberty at Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. We return to New York City in the late afternoon.
