🛳️ 🦞What to do in Newport Rhode Island Cruise Port
Newport Rhode Island Cruise Port has a cruise season from May to November with the fall being the busiest months. We are going to tell you everything you need to know about this cruise port so stay tuned to find out what we thought and how you can prepare for your day in Newport Rhode Island.
The adventure in Newport starts as soon as you are ready to disembark the ship as this is a tender port. The larger shops are too big and cant dock so they anchor off the east passage of Narragansett Bay. Then you take a tender to Newport Harbour and you get off right at Perotti Park which is in the center of town. This tender ride is like a little excursion on its own. You can watch some sail boats and enjoy the views. It is about a 20 min tender ride, they can't go that fast as you are passing yachts and sailboats. Our New England and Canada cruise was the first time in a long time we got to Tender. The last time had been about 10 years ago. It adds to the uniqueness of this cruise itinerary.
In terms of Newport Rhode Island cruise port atmosphere there is no big cruise terminal building as you tender in. There is a building with a visitor center and a washroom right at the dock. There is a nice green space a the park with some vendors and musicians. What is great about cruising to Rhode island is that when you get off the tender you are right in the downtown to explore.
One question we get asked a lot is, what to do in Newport Rhode Island? There is something for everyone. You can walk the city to enjoy shopping and food. There is the 3.5 mile cliff walk where you can see the Breakers mansions. Fort Adams is also a popular location to visit. Next time I want to try the sail boats or go to the mansion. When it comes to answering the question What to do in Rhode Island, this is just a few suggestions. Your cruise line will also offer lots of excursion options. We sailed with Princess cruises and found that some did sell out so if you see one you like don't wait too long to book.
With so many different things to do in Newport Rhode Island you want to make sure you bring everything you need. We sailed with Princess Cruises so we needed our medallion to get on and off the ship. Your cruise line might use a cruise card and you will also need your identification.
