Thirty miles off the coast of Massachusetts lies the magical island of Nantucket, where history lives and traditions are maintained. She is a uniquely beautiful island, with miles and miles of sandy beaches, deeply wooded moors, colorful cranberry bogs, and an entire ocean beckoning from all sides. She's also a quaint island, where worn cobblestone streets, lined with the historic residences of whaling captains, lead to one of New England's most picturesque harbors. And on this special island is an equally special place: The Nantucket Inn. Built around three beautifully landscaped courtyards, you'll find 100 spacious guest rooms. You'll also find extensive recreation facilities that include indoor and outdoor pools, a health & fitness center, two lighted tennis courts and indoor and outdoor whirlpool spas, lounge, plus free shuttle service through the island, and more...

Day 1: A warm seabreeze beckons—It’s SeniorTours time on Nantucket & Cape Cod! Stretch out in the deluxe motorcoach! Your escort is on board to help make the ride very special. En route, we'll host fun, games, cocktails, juices, soft drinks and snacks...all compliments of Seniortours. Riding through the New England countryside, we'll arrive late afternoon at our hotel in the heart of the Cape, and be greeted by a traditional Cape Cod Lobster/clambake "with all the fixin's". Steak may be substituted for lobster, for you land-lubbers! D
Day 2: A New England breakfast greets us this morning! Today, we'll take a "mini-cruise" to the Island of Nantucket. With a history that dates from 1659, you can't help but enjoy strolling its cobblestone main street, small lanes, plain Quaker-style homes and handsome houses that date from the whaling days of the early 19th century. After a 2-hour ferry ride, we'll arrive in Nantucket. Our luggage will be taken directly to the Inn while we board comfortable mini-coaches for an exciting 90-minute Island tour including the quaint village of Siasconset. After lunch (on our own) at one of Nantucket's many restaurants we'll enjoy a guided tour of the Whaling Museum. Originally built as a candle factory in 1847, this historic building is full of whaling instruments (harpoons, lances, bailers, skimmers), a whaleboat, intricate scrimshaw and ship models. Free time for shopping, sightseeing and enjoying the Inn. Unpack, swim in one of the Inn's indoor or outdoor pools, take in the health and fitness area, or just relax and luxuriate in the bracing sea air.

Together, they portray how islanders lived and worked as Nantucket developed from a small farming community, to the center of America's whaling industry and eventually, an important resort.
