Wanderbird cruises get the wind back into your sails!

Looking for a revitalizing getaway that lets you experience folk music festivals, study coastal wildlife, or marvel at New England's fall colors? Then, Rockport Schooner Cruises has the answer for you. The company's Wanderbird is a spacious 90-foot vessel that can accommodate up to 12 for three- to six-day cruises every June through October. All regularly scheduled cruises cater to vegetarians and vegans, and many of their trips feature only vegetarian fare, such as their whale watching tour in early September.

The Wanderbird's chef is a 20-year vegetarian who deliciously caters to a vegan diet with breakfast options such as Vegan Buckwheat Waffles and Karen's Homemade "Sorta Sausage." Lunch may bring Oriental Broccoli Peanut Salad, Lentil Walnut Burgers, and Coconut Lemon Squares, while dinner may include Red Pepper-Walnut Pate, Ginger Sesame Portobello Steaks, Handmade Maple Roasted Squash Ravioli in Vegan Pesto and Pinenuts, and Sage Onion Wheat Rolls. The staff even makes fresh fruit sorbets in an old fashioned hand-crank ice cream maker!
