Whale Watching Cruises from Nantucket Island, Massachusetts: A Guide

These whale watching cruises take place primarily in the summer, when the population of Nantucket increases fivefold.

Valentine’s Day Cruises
A Valentine’s Day cruise could be a number of different things. Most broadly, it is simply some sort of cruise that is taken to recognize Valentine’s Day. For obvious reasons, a cruise for Valentine’s Day will likely be taken as a couple, although conceivably other people could be involved – other friends who happen to be couples, or potentially kids if you can’t find anyone to watch them. A Valentine’s Day cruise could also take anywhere from an hour or so to several days, although if the cruise is long it becomes less a Valentine’s Day cruise and more of a cruise that happens to include February 14th. Below we explore the various types of Valentine’s Day cruises out there, giving you ideas for 2015 and beyond. Read more […] -
