Luxury New England and Montreal with Fogo Island Inn

Day 1: the UK to Boston

Depart the UK from your chosen airport. You’ll arrive in Boston later today, where you’ll be met at the airport before being driven to your hotel. When you arrive, you’ll check in for two nights. We have chosen the Four Seasons Boston, where your comfort and happiness is the friendly staff’s top priority.

Included: International flight, transfer, Four Seasons Boston

Day 2: Boston

Today is yours to explore the historic city of Boston. We recommend that you start by following the Freedom Trail, which will guide you around the historical highlights of the city, including Old North Church and Boston Common. Grab a bowl of New England clam chowder for lunch before wandering the pretty streets of Beacon Hill and heading over the river to Cambridge, home to Harvard University and MIT. Try and catch a baseball game at Fenway Park – the field is iconic, as well as the hot dogs!

Included: Four Seasons Boston 

Day 3: Drive to Cape Cod

This morning, you’ll pick up your car hire and drive to Cape Cod. On the way down, why not stop in at Plymouth, where you can learn about the Mayflower, which made the voyage from England with the pilgrims nearly 400 years ago. Here, you’ll see Plymouth Rock and learn about the history of the “America’s Hometown” before driving on to Provincetown, where you’ll check into your hotel for three nights.

Included: Car hire, 4* hotel        

Days 4 and 5: Cape Cod

You’ll spend a couple of days exploring the cape, strolling through the small streets of Provincetown, wandering along the vast sand dunes of the east coast and taking the ferry over to Martha’s Vineyard. There are dozens of nature trails for hiking and cycling, so try taking a route that leads to several of the iconic lighthouses, such as Chatham Light.

In summer, the beaches of Cape Cod will be packed with day-trippers from Boston, so why not join the fun by packing a picnic and heading for the sand? This way, you can revel in the famous Cape Cod summer vibe? Finish each day with a feast of fried clams, garlic buttered lobster and hot rolls – the perfect accompaniment to a luxury week in New England.

Included: Car hire, 4* hotel        

Day 6: Drive to Newport

You can spend the morning on the beach before driving over to Newport, Rhode Island. It’s only a two-hour drive from the Cape, so there’s no reason to rush. This quaint harbour town has long been a summer haven for the wealthiest families of New York, a great place to spend a couple of days exploring.

Included: Car hire, 4* hotel        

Day 7: Newport

During the late 19^th century, Newport was the summertime playground for the upper-class elite from New York and Boston, who built beautiful mansions along the coast to enjoy during the warmer months. Many of these homes have been preserved, giving you a glimpse into the incredible architecture of the buildings as well as learning about this fascinating part of American history. You can visit them along the 3.5-mile cliff walk.

As well as the mansions, there are plenty of things to explore in the “City by the Sea”. Visit local vineyards, explore Fort Adams State Park and wander around the Farmers Market, where you can tuck into a delicious local delicacy – lobster mac and cheese!

Included: Car hire, 4* hotel        

Day 8: Fly to Montreal

Today, you’ll drive from Newport back to Boston airport, dropping off your hire car before boarding your next business class flight to Montreal. On arrival, you’ll be met at the airport and transferred privately to your hotel, the Four Seasons Montreal, newly opened in 2019.

Included: Transfers, international flight, Four Seasons Montreal             

Days 9 and 10: Montreal

You’ll now have two full days to explore Montreal, so we’ve included two walking tours to enjoy in the mornings, leaving your afternoons free to enjoy at leisure.

On Day 9, we’ve added a “Beyond the Market” private walking tour, which will leave at noon, ensuring that you enjoy some delicious local delicacies for your lunch. Montreal is a city that loves to eat. Today, you’ll visit Jean-Talon Market, where you’ll learn about the farm-to-table food and the huge diversity of cuisines that makes Montreal famous.

At the market, Vietnamese places sit alongside Italian delis, with a Salvadorian hole in the wall just around the corner – you’ll try craft beer and strong coffee, local cheese and fresh ice cream, a delicious way to spend two hours. You’ll also receive some recommendations for places to eat and drink for the rest of your stay in Montreal.

On Day 10, you’ll head off on a “Beyond the Basilica” private walking tour to visit the undiscovered highlights of Montreal. Starting at the ornately decorated Basilica, you’ll head off into the interior city, a vast network of underground connections between buildings, shopping centres and restaurants through the city. Being underground, it protects the locals from the bitter cold during the winter.

The interior city will bring you all the way to Chinatown, and you’ll then explore Saint-Laurent Boulevard, where colourful street art adorns the walls. You’ll finish the tour with a cup of coffee in a local café.

Included: 2 private walking tours, Four Seasons Montreal                          

Day 11: Fly to Newfoundland

This morning, you can take one last stroll through the Old Town before catching your private transfer back to the airport, where you’ll take another business class flight to Gander, in Newfoundland.

On arrival in Gander, you’ll be met at the airport and taken to a helicopter, which will take you directly to Fogo Island, an island on the edge of the earth. Here you will check in for four nights, ready to explore the wilderness and enjoy this luxurious hotel.                       

Included: Transfer, flight, helicopter transfer, Fogo Island Inn 

Days 12 - 13: Fogo Island

Fogo Island Inn welcomes guests year-round to a spectacular North Atlantic setting with touches of contemporary style. Combining traditional hospitality and décor with modern architecture and cuisine, this unique space is a gathering place for people who love wild, barren landscapes and want to experience eastern Canada at its best.

You’ll be staying in one of the Labrador Suites – individually decorated with locally handcrafted furnishings and textiles. Each suite features floor to ceiling windows, allowing views of the ocean to sweep into the room and make you feel like part of the landscape.

Fogo Island is colloquially referred to as Iceberg Alley, due to the enormous blue icebergs that float between Greenland and Newfoundland. Between mid-May and June, you’ll be able to see these icebergs as they drift across the ocean right outside your window.

Along with the 2,000-strong human population, the island is home to herds of caribou, beavers, foxes, mosses and wildflowers that carpet the rugged fields throughout the summer months. Not only that, but thousands of edible berries can be foraged across the island during autumn.

Included: Fogo Island Inn, all meals, non-alcoholic beverages                   

Day 14: Depart Fogo Island

Today is your final day in Fogo Island, so you can take a last walk along the rocky water’s edge to watch the icebergs before taking the helicopter back to Gander Airport, from where you’ll catch your flight home.   

Included: Breakfast, helicopter transfer, international flight      

Day 15: Arrive UK
