What to expect

  1. Annapolis
    Pass by
    Begin the journey as the vessel departs from Annapolis, known as America's Sailing Capital, which sits at the mouth of the Severn River where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. Experience the epicenter of Maryland's maritime culture, taking in views of historic waterfronts and the vibrant seaport atmosphere from the water.
  2. United States Naval Academy
    Pass by
    Glide along the seawall of the U.S. Naval Academy during this portion of the cruise, catching magnificent water-level views of the historic grounds that serve as home to more than one thousand midshipmen.
  3. Chesapeake Bay
    Pass by
    Cruise along the magnificent Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States. Keep an eye out for local wildlife as you navigate these vibrant waters, scanning the area for osprey, bald eagles, cow-nosed rays, and other creatures thriving in their natural habitat.
  4. Pass by
    Navigate the 14-mile tidal estuary of the Severn River, located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Learn about the region's fascinating nature and history, including the story of Providence—the first colonial settlement in the county, founded here in the winter of 1649–1650 before Annapolis rose to prominence as Maryland's capital.
