Beautiful cruise! Wonderful staff and crew! AND a mimosa!
We arrived just before the boat was to leave. We explained that we didn't have time for a later boat. Hannah (a rock star) asked the boat staff if they had time to add us, and they said yes. We were able to be added at the last minute. SO worth the trip! Nice staff. Beautiful setting. Comfortable boat. Learned so many interesting facts and history about the region. Mimosas were the icing on the cake.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for coming out on Gansett and for your kind words regarding the tour. We are so glad that Hanah was able to get you on the boat last minute and that you had a great time out on the water with us. We hope to see you out on the water with us again soon!

Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Newport.
How much does Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Newport usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI take?
+
Plan for about 1.2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Newport is not rushed.
Is Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 153 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Newport, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI?
+
Around 54 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Newport can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Newport and add a light layer if any part of the 1.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Newport within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Newport?
+
Newport sells mansion tours along Bellevue Avenue, Cliff Walk history, schooner and sunset sails on Narragansett Bay, and food walks through the colonial waterfront. On Outty we rank every Newport experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Newport Gilded Age Trolley Tour w/ Breakers Mansion Incl.(Age 8+), Newport Trolley Tour with Breakers Mansion - Viking Tours, Afternoon Grand Tour | Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Newport?
+
May to October, with sailing at its best in July and August. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Newport?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Live Commentary and Storytelling; and Beautiful Views!. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Morning Mimosa Cruise with Gansett Cruises in Newport, RI?
+
