Local history buffs may remember Coastal Queen originally as the Viking Queen. This ship sailed Newport Harbor and lower Narragansett Bay for many years. She took a brief detour to New York until Bill Munger, CMM, Founder and President of Conanicut Marine Services Inc., spotted the ship for sale and brought her back to Newport Harbor. She was restored to her full glory, renamed Coastal Queen, christened and re-launched in her home waters of Narragansett Bay.
Coastal Queen Cruises eagerly awaits the opportunity to take you on an enjoyable and memorable tour of her home, Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay. Welcome aboard!
