A panoramic drive takes you through the historic district with its fine examples of Colonial, Federal, and Victorian homes, many of which are designated National Historic Sites.
Watch for Trinity Church, the Redwood Library, and the Gothic Church of Saint Mary, where Jacqueline Bouvier married Senator John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1953.
Continue along the famous ten-mile Ocean Drive for spectacular views of the rocky coastline. See where society's millionaires of the early 20th century built their grand "summer cottages" along Bellevue Avenue. The Newport Preservation Society has beautifully preserved the opulent mansions of the Vanderbilt, Astor, and Morgan families.
Notes:
This tour is designed to provide a pleasant overview of Newport and its environs with sightseeing from the motorcoach only; there are no stops or visits. The content of this tour is identical to Panoramic Newport. Only guests using a wheelchair can book this tour, as it ensures accessible transportation. Due to the specialized nature of some lift-equipped vehicles, priority is given to guests using a wheelchair and one companion only; additional companions may be required to travel on non-accessible transportation and should book the same tour under the title Panoramic Newport. The tour operator suggests you bring a companion to assist, as guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs. Bookings not marked with an accessibility requirement will be removed from the tour's inventory. Please complete the Special Services form at https://book.hollandamerica.com/specialServices/login.action; this will ensure that suitable transportation is in place for your tour.
