Spend Thanksgiving in New York, have a drink at the Cheers bar in Boston and gaze out over Lake Michigan in Chicago. Here’s our inspiring snapshot of the eastern states.

As the catamaran bounces away from the Boston shoreline towards Stellwagen Bank, it’s not long before a sighting – a humpback whale launching its massive body out of the water, illuminated in a veil of spray. After a day at sea, wind down with a drink at the bar made famous in Cheers and recall this memorable experience late into the night.

In Washington, stop to enjoy a free performance in Rock Creek Park – from Hamlet to hip hop – and explore museums galore before heading out to the Bohemian Caverns to listen to jazz. Ride a horse past waterfalls in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park and spend the first Friday of the month wandering around open house galleries in the Old City art district.

Watch giant inflatable cartoon characters float between New York skyscrapers during Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in November, enjoy a moving performance at the New York City Ballet and watch a star-studded award-winning show on glitzy Broadway.

Glide around the ice rink in Chicago’s Millennium Park, take a segway tour past the 150ft ferris wheel and admire the skyline and Lake Michigan from 103 floors up on the Sears Tower Skydeck. Go back in time to 1627 and talk to ‘real life’ pilgrims at the Plimoth Plantation, or unwind on Cape Cod’s beautiful beaches before tucking into local lobster and clambakes.
