Only a true Bostonian can explain the lure,
magic, and agony that is the Boston Red Sox
- the local professional baseball team. Wallowing in self-pity over a curse
apparently cast upon the team in 1919 when the
owner sold the legendary Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees
(the Red Sox haven't won the
World Series since), fans drag themselves out to historic Fenway Park
year after year to follow what is always a roller-coaster season,
only to be crushed by a final plummet that invariably
leaves the team (and fans) grasping for, but never quite reaching, a World
Series victory. Even if you aren't a baseball fan, a trip to Fenway is
worth it. And the team promises to be very good this
year. Really...
Space for this option will be limited, and will be allocated on a "first-come, first-served" basis.

Whales are found in abundance off the shores of Boston during the
summer months. Join a crew of experienced naturalists and discover the
world's largest mammals, the great whales, on a ride out to Stellwagen
Bank and the surrounding areas. Boats are designed specifically for
whale watching, with exterior decks that wrap around the boat for great
viewing.
The probability of seeing whales is essentially 100%.

There's no better way to see Boston than aboard a Duck,
an authentic
renovated World War II amphibious landing vehicle. You'll cruise by
all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of
firsts, from the golden-domed State House to the Boston Common, the
Old North Church to fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market to the
Prudential Tower. Just when you
think you've seen it all, it's time for "Splashdown", as
your Duck splashes right into the Charles River for an afternoon
river cruise.
