Cruise
Before returning to your hotel, end the night with an experience straight from the canals of Venice, Italy with a romantic serenaded gondola tour in the Newport Harbor.  Thousands of couples have snuggled under the moonlit skies while enjoying a spectacular cruise.   Some have made lasting memories aboard by proposing to their loved one or exchanging vows.
