Item Description

Grab your special someone and explore historic New England with this splendid getaway package to Newport, RI! Polish up on your Newport history before you embark with two books, including the definitive book on the Newport mansions, so you can be up-to-speed on the town and all its charms.  Begin your two night stay in the heart of the historic harbor district at the luxurious Francis Malbone House, Newport’s only 5-Star Diamond award-winning inn.  Your Newport experience will include two memberships to the Preservation Society of Newport giving free admission to the cottages operated by the Society, including members’ discount at the gift shops and cafes, as well as a Cocktail Sail for two on the Adirondack II, an elegant 19th-century style 80’ schooner, sailing you from Bowens Wharf in Newport Harbor.  This package will also pick up your tab, with a gift certificate to the legendary Commodore’s Room at The Black Pearl, one of New England’s finest restaurants, and a gift certificate to dine at The Skybar at The Clarke Cooke House, the top floor overlooking Newport Harbor.  To sweeten the deal, you’ll also receive a surprise from the Newport Fudgery, the premier fudge and candy shop on Thames Street!
