Pirate cruises have grown in popularity during the last decade. Travelers will find dozens of options stretching from Maine to Florida. How did these adventures become so popular? We can thank fictional Captain Jack Sparrow of “The Pirates of the Caribbean” movie series for that. 

Wildwood Crest, N.J.’s @dark_star_pirates owner Tracie Cicicchitti says pirates offer allure and mystery.

Vermont, the Green Mountain State, is best known for its breathtaking forest scenery and excellent ski slopes—but don’t overlook its vibrant arts scene. In a state where even the largest city feels like a town, you may be surprised to learn that one of the largest per-capita populations of artists in the nation exists as well.

Standing at the edge of the Tred Avon River in Oxford, Md., before us a palette of colors cascaded from the evening sky onto the calm water’s surface. Layers of blue, pink, orange, green and gold created a magical glow that shone on our faces. Like a painting in motion, the scene evolved, colors changing and deepening before our eyes.

Most American presidents have called 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., their home. A handful of presidents, though, have had permanent residences located within a short drive from The White House. All are worth visiting, for the history, the architecture, and the ambiance.

This July marks 160 years since the Battle of Gettysburg, often considered the most iconic battle of the American Civil War. The town of Gettysburg is known by most only for those three specific days (July 1-3, 1863) in its history and visitors often focus on the military maneuvers, generals and soldiers who fought. But the town existed before that time and has existed since, and a newly opened museum aims to take visitors “Beyond the Battle.”
