8 Unique Ways to Travel on Thanksgiving

While most families celebrate at home and watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or football on TV while eating to their heart’s delight, your clients can experience a more active and unique Thanksgiving this year with us.

Experience It Where It All Started.

Stay in?Boston?and visit Plymouth with a historian guide. Set along the Massachusetts coastline, Plymouth is the site of the first Pilgrim settlement, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into American history, complete with the exact location where settlers are believed to have landed on shore. You can also tour a full-scale replica of the mythic Mayflower, the ship that carried the Pilgrims across the Atlantic centuries ago.

Watch Your Thanksgiving Football Live

Get VIP seats and special access to watch the Giants face off against the Cowboys. Then experience the best of?Dallas?with?us, such as a full-day tour of the city that includes a visit to JFK’s assassination site, and a VIP Southfork Ranch JR Ewing Experience that will have you arrive to the setting of the “Dallas” TV series by helicopter, and then explore the legendary ranch like a real-life cowboy.

Watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Live

Celebrate Thanksgiving in fabulous style by watching Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade live in?New York. During a special, exclusive brunch, enjoy the parade right outside your window and a televised live feed of all the morning’s festivities. You’ll spend time in a street level café, from where you can grab a cocoa, head outside, and watch the parade from a private sidewalk viewing area as the floats, bands, and performers march by. This VIP experience offers the most incredible views of the Thanksgiving Day Parade and also includes guest entertainment, a professional photographer and VIP coordinators.

Immerse Yourself in Native American History

Remember that Thanksgiving is first and foremost a celebration of Native American generosity, a time when America’s native communities welcomed new arrivals to the continent with meals and gifts. This year, celebrate indigenous Americans by taking a non-traditional approach, and immerse yourself in the history of Native Americans in?New Mexico,?Utah,?Arizona,?Florida, or even?Virginia.?

Give Thanks by Giving Back

Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks and giving back. Whether you plan to visit a major US city like?New York?or?Los Angeles, or a more remote location like?Hawaii,?we?can organize an immersive “giving back” opportunity with a local community during your trip.

Celebrate Thanksgiving Like a President

George Washington proclaimed Thanksgiving a holiday in 1789, but it wasn’t until 1863 that Abraham Lincoln officially made it a national holiday at the White House. Go to?Washington, DC, where you can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal at Mount Vernon – Washington’s home – and learn more about how presidents have traditionally celebrated Thanksgiving with a special insider tour of America's capital city.

Take the Extended Family to a Remote Destination

Instead of having all the relatives come to your house, let someone else cook while the entire family celebrates together at a unique remote locale, like one of our?luxury ranch resorts,?private retreats, or remote wilderness lodges.?

Celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving Instead

Canada celebrates its Thanksgiving on the second Monday in October, with a similar concept of giving thanks for the harvest. Initial celebrations in?Canada?included one in 1579 in Nunavut, but many other instances of settlers celebrating with First Nations are recorded. Travel to?Canada?and immerse your family in First Nations Culture throughout the country.
