Gateway to America's Oldest Seaport and Art
Colony400 years ago Samuel de Champlain landed in Gloucester and christened it Le Beauport
because of the beautiful harbor and scenic rocky shores.
 At the heart of Cape Ann (just 30
miles north of Boston), Gloucester remains both the oldest fishing community in
the U.S. and home to the oldest art colony in North America.
Made
famous by the movie, The Perfect
Storm, Gloucester retains its centuries-old, local charm and offers
scores of attractions, over a dozen spectacular beaches and first-class services for the
discerning traveler.
Passengers disembark at Rowe Square dock in
the heart of the working waterfront — easy walking distance to downtown
shops, museums and a fleet of boats offering whale watching trips, harbor tours, river cruises, schooner sailing and deep sea fishing adventures.
