Hello:

It’s been a little while since we have posted anything as all of the trips for this year are full. We hope everyone is having a great summer and we have enjoyed having everyone aboard our trips so far this year.

We are reaching out to our guests to see if there is any interest in viewing this exhibit in Boston next March 2025. We do not have a definite date yet. Of course, lunch will be included at Maggiano’s.  Please reply to this email as soon as you can or call the office 508-421-6882 if you are interested in joining us on this trip.

TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition Coming to Boston

Prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey through time as the highly anticipated TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition makes its way to Boston on October 17 at The Saunders Castle at Park Plaza. From the depths of the ocean to the hearts of millions, this immersive experience offers a captivating glimpse into the most iconic ship in history. Produced by E/M Group and RMS Titanic, Inc., the Exhibition invites guests to witness the grandeur and the tragedy of Titanic.

The Exhibition features hundreds of authentic artifacts respectfully recovered from the wrecksite telling the story of the Ship and her passengers and crew, including a piece of the hull guests can touch. Visitors can also explore meticulously re-created rooms, including the opulent Grand Staircase.

Located in the Back Bay, The Saunders Castle at Park Plaza is a former armory and is a designated National Historic Landmark.

“We are excited to bring some of the most iconic pieces from Titanic to a city shaped by its ties to maritime history,” said Tomasina Ray, Director of Collections at RMS Titanic, Inc. 

Additional 2025 trips:

We also have in the works the Fireplace Feast at Salem Cross for Saturday April 12, 2025. More information to follow.

We were also thinking of Iceland for next year, however they have a volcano that has been spouting off every now and then.  Rather than book the tour, we are thinking let it calm down and consider Iceland for 2026.    There has been interest in a Canadian Rockies/Glacier National Park tour for August of 2025. If you would like to get on the list let us know. Thank You for your continued support of our trips.

We have the opportunity to purchase tickets for the 2:00pm matinee show for:

HAMILTON appearing at the Providence Performing Arts Center. The show date is Saturday December 21, 2024. Our seats would be in the outer side orchestra section.

The day would include roundtrip motorcoach, a lunch buffet, and a ticket to the show. The price of the trip would be $199.00 per person with a $100.00 per person deposit.

As always, the tickets would be nonrefundable unless they could be resold.

This would make a great Christmas gift from family members who may not know what to get you.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are interested in this trip.

Call the office at 508-421-6882 or email:  fredandawaywegotravel@gmail.com.

HAMILTON is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation. Based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography and set to a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, HAMILTON has had a profound impact on culture, politics and education. In addition to its 11 Tony Awards, it has won Grammy®, Olivier Awards, the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and unprecedented special citation from the Kennedy Center Honors.

Just a reminder – we are still waiting for the Providence Water Fire schedule. Call to get on the list so you are the first to be notified of the date. We may also add one more show in the late fall as a day trip.
