12 Day East Coast USA Itinerary, incl. New York and Charleston
A luxurious 12-day coastal cruise connects 8 historic ports from New York to Nassau. Full days await in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, Charleston's 230-block Historic District, and Miami's Cuban quarter, with elegant amenities aboard Scenic Eclipse.
- Day 1
Arrival in Manhattan
Start your journey in Manhattan, arriving before 1 PM for embarkation. Start your first morning with a peaceful walk through Central Park before the crowds arrive, then grab breakfast at a local deli before heading to the port. As you leave in the evening, you'll see stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty.
- Day 2
Wilmington, Delaware
In Wilmington, Delaware's largest city, visit the Hagley Museum when it opens at 9:30 AM to avoid tour groups. Explore Brandywine Park in mid-morning before it gets too hot. In the evening, you'll pass through the impressive Chesapeake & Delaware Canal.
- Day 3
Baltimore
Baltimore's Inner Harbor starts getting busy around 10 AM. Visit the National Aquarium early to beat the crowds. If you're planning Washington DC excursions, factor in the one-hour drive each way from Baltimore's port.
- Day 4
Yorktown
The Revolutionary War sites in Yorktown are quietest in the morning. Plan about 2 hours for the Yorktown Battlefield tours and bring water since there isn't much shade. Colonial Williamsburg is just a 30-minute drive away.
- Day 5
Day at Sea
After a day at sea, you'll reach Wilmington, North Carolina. The USS North Carolina Battleship Memorial opens at 8 AM. Visit early to avoid crowds and heat. You can walk through the 230-block historic district in the morning or late afternoon.
- Day 6
Charleston
In Charleston, take the 9:30 AM ferry to Fort Sumter for the best photo opportunities. The historic district has beautiful cobblestone streets but they can be slippery when wet, so pack good walking shoes.
- Day 7
Day at Sea
After another day at sea, explore Miami's Little Havana as it comes to life mid-morning. Start in the Art Deco district early, then stop for Cuban coffee at Versailles Restaurant around 10 AM.
- Day 8
Key West
Key West is easy to walk around, but the sun is strong. Get to the Hemingway House when it opens at 9 AM, before other cruise passengers arrive. Book morning snorkeling tours when the water is usually calmer.
- Day 9
End of Trip
End your trip with a relaxing sea day before reaching Nassau. Book flights after noon to allow time for disembarkation. The Straw Market opens early if you want to shop before heading to the airport.
