Welcome To RIDETHEBAYRI.com
Brought to you in part by RIDOT.
Experience the majesty of Narragansett Bay on your way to the cultural capital of Rhode Island! Skip the traffic and parking hassles, and let our fast ferry from Newport whisk you there in style. Hands-down, the Providence ferry from Newport really is the best way to go.
Historic and hip, charming and chic, Providence, Rhode Island packs the best of New England into one convenient and colorful package. Innovative and eclectic restaurants, a vibrant arts and culture scene, and beautifully preserved historic architecture are all within easy reach of downtown hotels. Known as the “Creative Capital,” Providence has received national acclaim over the past few years and was recently named one of the “52 Places (in the World) to Go in 2016” by The New York Times.
