• Ilensee 23 Ι D - 24837 Schleswig

The Comfortina was built in Sweden until 2012, more precisely at COMFORTBÅTAR AB, in Arvika. The shipyard was founded in 1964 by Kennet Albinson and has quickly developed into one of the leading yacht builders in Scandinavia. This created the prerequisites for production with the highest quality standard.

We, COMFORTINA GmbH & Co KG, have acquired all brand, production and sales rights since January 1st, 2013. New Comfortinas are now being built in Germany. With a Comfortina you do not acquire any ship “off the peg”, but we ensure that many of your wishes and ideas can be implemented during construction. The Comfortina 43 and 46 in particular allow the greatest possible scope for your individual design requirements.

As passionate sailors - sporty, determined and future-oriented, we demand the best quality. Managing director Niels Töbke has been the owner of Comfort-Yachts Germany since 1996, an experienced boat builder, regatta sailor and expert on the yacht business. He will be happy to advise you personally.

COMFORT-YACHTS Germany in Schleswig offers you a modern service company with a repair workshop. There is also enough space for 180 winter and summer berths in the 1,500 m² heated hall area.

Lori harvey stuns in itty-bitty leopard-printed bikini on yacht in st. tropez.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

This vacation is getting wild.

Lori Harvey showed off a racy leopard-printed bikini on vacation in St. Tropez Tuesday, relaxing on a luxurious yacht as she soaked up the sun with her family.

The 27-year-old model and swimwear entrepreneur — whose father is comedian Steve Harvey — struck various poses while perched on a railing in some sizzling pics she shared on her Instagram Story .

The socialite shaded her face from the sun in a straw cowboy hat and accessorized with a pair of chic sunglasses, a diamond-trimmed gold Jacquie Aiche belly chain ($8,525), several ankle bracelets and chunky gold earrings by Fiery Jewelry ($65).

She enjoyed some music with her family on board, sharing videos of herself dancing and also taking a trip down a slide into the sea before rinsing off in an outdoor shower.

Although the Yevrah Swim founder didn’t appear to be rocking one of her own designs, she did make her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut this year in a Yevrah bikini, among other striking suits.

Harvey’s shoot was part of the magazine’s 60th-anniversary  edition this May and also featured fellow SI Swim rookie stars Brittany Mahomes and Gayle King .

The SKN by LH skincare founder told SI Swim  that posing for the mag was a “dream come true.”

“I would say the three words that I would use to describe it would be manifested, surreal and perfection because it was literally a moment that I manifested,” she said.

Perhaps she can manifest more leopard-print moments this summer.

The 10 Best Fall Foliage Train Rides in New England

From Maine to Connecticut, these scenic and historic railroads are the ideal setting for leaf peeping and fall foliage hunting.

From day trips to weekend getaways, our biweekly Traveler newsletter shows you the best of New England and beyond.

Conway Scenic Railroad photo by Brian Solomon, Conway Scenic Railroad

There are few things more quintessentially New England than days spent admiring the warm, vibrant hues of autumn leaves. A family apple picking trip isn’t complete without a colorful backdrop; an early-October walk isn’t the same without piles of crunchy leaves; and you just can’t have football games without fall foliage. Thankfully, the novelty of fall in the northeast somehow never seems to wear off, no matter how many times you experience it. Needless to say, it’s also one of the biggest draws to the area for tourists (aside from the Cape’s beaches in the summer and New Hampshire’s ski mountains in the winter).

This year, rather than taking a leaf peeping drive or a hike to enjoy the fall foliage, try soaking in the views from a train car instead. Historic railroads wind across every part of New England, and there’s no shortage of routes to take you through the autumnal wonderland that it becomes every fall. Specifically, these 10 train rides boast the best views possible—and some have even been named the best in the country —taking you through miles of scenic landscapes (and in some cases, offering gourmet meals to go along with them). From the White Mountains of New Hampshire to Cape Cod and Newport, on cog railways and restored steam engines, these train routes have front-row access to unrivaled views of the region’s most picturesque season.

Updated October 2023.

• Connecticut

Essex steam train & riverboat.

Starting at the historic Essex Station, the Essex Steam Train travels through the Connecticut River Valley, offering uninterrupted views of foliage along the way. On the 2.5 hour round-trip ride, while seated inside vintage coaches pulled by a steam-powered locomotive, you’ll see changing leaves and wildlife on the tidal wetlands of Pratt Cove and Chester Creek. Partway through the trip, you’ll board the Becky Thatcher, a Mississippi-style riverboat, to cross the Connecticut River to Selden Neck State Park before making a return trip to the station. For a trip that’s more all-inclusive, the Essex Clipper Dinner Train (made of restored 1920s Pullman diner cars) provides the same views bathed in the colors of the season—but these ones are accompanied by a dinner of prime rib or ravioli.

Train and riverboat excursion $40-$60, Thursday-Monday in October; dinner train tickets $110, select dates in October; The Essex Steam Train & Riverboat, 1 Railroad Ave., Essex, Connecticut, essexsteamtrain.com .

• Massachusetts

Cape cod railroad.

In the fall, Cape Cod transforms from a summery vacationland into an autumnal escape. The Cape Cod Central Railroad winds through nearly 30 miles of marshes, cranberry bogs, dunes, and idyllic scenery from Hyannis to Buzzards Bay. Though the railroad doesn’t offer any fall foliage-specific rides, every one of its excursions essentially becomes a foliage tour once the leaves change. The classic Cape Cod train ride departs from Hyannis and takes you on a narrated two-hour afternoon tour all the way to Sandwich and the Cape Cod Canal. If you prefer to enjoy your scenic views over a meal, the Cape Cod Dinner Train features a five-course, gourmet meal served on white table linens, and the Sunday Brunch Train offers an a la carte menu including crepes and eggs benedict.

Afternoon train ride starting at $30, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays September-October; Dinner Train starting at $95, Thursday and Saturdays in October; Sunday Brunch Train starting at $65, in October; Hyannis Depot, 252 Main St., Hyannis, Massachusetts, capetrain.com . 

Hoosac Valley Train Ride

For a quicker (but no less beautiful) fall journey, try the Hoosac Valley Train Ride in Adams, Mass. The restored 1900s train departs from the Adams train station in Western Massachusetts, chugging through scenic rural landscapes that are ideal for autumnal leaf peeping. The hour-long, 10-mile round-trip excursion is open throughout the summer and fall, but the best time to go is in October for the “Fall Foliage” ride—when the leaves in the Berkshire Hills are at their peak. Though it’s a bit far from Boston, the views are worth the drive. While you’re making the journey out west, even the hills and trees along the Mass Pike are picturesque.

Children $12, adults $20, Saturdays and Sundays September-October; Adams Station, 4 Hoosac St., Adams, Massachusetts, berkshiretrains.org . 

Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad

Running along the Eastern Promenade of Casco Bay in Portland, the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad will take you on a leisurely 40-minute ride through some of Maine’s best scenery. Situated on narrow, two-foot-wide tracks (as opposed to the customary four-foot width), the small train is a quaint and cozy way to take advantage of the coastal view—which, in the fall, is awash with the bright hues of red and orange leaves. On the annual Pumpkin Train rides , kids can decorate pumpkins as the open-air carriages of the 100-year-old steam locomotive let in the crisp fall breeze. To round out the trip, don’t forget to stop by the beloved Holy Donut in the Old Port for apple-flavored seasonal donuts to warm up after your ride.

Children $9, adults $15, open every day for regular rides, and select dates in October for the Pumpkin Train ; Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum, 49 Thames St., Portland, Maine, mainenarrowgauge.org .

New Hampshire

Cafe lafayette dinner train.

Through the windows of the Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train—composed of restored 1950s rail cars decorated with vintage travel posters and luggage cases—the beauty of the White Mountains region is on full display. In the fall, the train is surrounded by walls of colorful forest as it chugs through the Pemi River Valley, after departing from North Woodstock. The two-hour ride passes through 20 miles of picturesque landscape (filled with bright crimson and amber foliage), over three trestle bridges and a Christmas tree farm—all of which you can enjoy while dining on a gourmet five-course, seasonal meal.

Starting at $99 per person, Thursday-Sunday September-October; Cafe Lafayette Dinner Train, 3 Crossing at River Place, North Woodstock, New Hampshire, nhdinnertrain.com .

Whether it’s a quick ride through the Conway Valley or a longer excursion over Crawford Notch, the Conway Scenic Railroad is surrounded by mountains covered in vibrant autumnal colors. Departing from the circa-1874 train station in North Conway on a select October weekend, the Pumpkin Patch ride —a shorter, hour-and-20-minute ride complete with pumpkins, apple cider, and donuts—takes you through miles of unmatched views, and is perfect for families. For those looking for something a bit longer, the Mountaineer train winds through the Mount Washington Valley, covering over 50 miles of supremely scenic forest and mountain over the course of five hours (with a layover at Crawford Depot, by Saco Lake). To enjoy the best views, book a premium class ticket in the glass-domed upper dining car.

Conway Valley Train, children starting at $17 and adults starting at $23, daily through October and Friday-Sunday in November; The Mountaineer, children starting at $60 and adults starting at $79, daily, select dates through November; North Conway Station, 38 Norcross Circle, North Conway, New Hampshire, conwayscenic.com .

Mt. Washington Cog Railway image provided

Mt. Washington Cog Railway

The Mt. Washington Cog Railway is one of the most well-known railways in New England—and for good reason. As the Cog climbs to the highest peak in the Northeast, you’re surrounded by breathtaking views of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. It’s beautiful at any time of year, but in the fall, the vibrant colors of the changing leaves are unmatched. Inside the cars of the coal-powered steam locomotive, you’ll have an uninterrupted view of the surrounding trees for 45 minutes as you ascend at a 25% grade. Stop at the top to warm up with a hot chocolate and a snack (as the average temperature in October is just 30 degrees) before beginning your descent back down the mountain.

Steam engine to the mid-mountain, $39 for children and $54 for adults; biodiesel train to the summit, $63 for children and $86 for adults, every day May-mid-October; biodiesel train to Skyline (halfway up the mountain), $46 for kids and $63 for adults, mid-October through the winter; Mount Washington Cog Railway, 3168 Base Station Road, Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, thecog.com .

Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad

The Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad’s Fall Foliage Special is specifically curated for passengers to experience the best fall views that New Hampshire has to offer. Departing from Meredith Station in the morning, the four-hour excursion pulls out all the stops (literally). After trailing over the Ashland Summit, through a deer farm and Christmas tree farm, the train stops at the Common Man Inn & Spa in Plymouth for a buffet lunch. The second leg of the trip stops at the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railroad Station for a guided tour of the historic 1800s station, and the third leg returns to Meredith Station. Each stop—and the entire ride in between—are ideal for leaf peeping.

Starting at $83, select dates in September and October; Meredith Station, 154 Main St., Meredith, New Hampshire, hoborr.com .

Image of Grand Bellevue Train provided

Rhode Island

The grand bellevue rail dining experience.

To experience Aquidneck Island how society’s elite used to—when they traveled to their vacation “homes” (read: mansions) in Newport—hop aboard the early-1900s-era trains on the Newport and Narragansett Bay Railroad. Year-round, the railroad offers the Grand Bellevue Rail Dining Experience, an elegant dinner (paired with wine and cocktails) aboard 1940s dining cars. Over the course of the 2.5 hour ride, enjoy Narragansett Bay, the Sakonnet River, and lush fall views passing outside your window as the Grand Bellevue’s culinary team prepares your meals right on board. Plus, on the second leg of the trip back to the station, the sunset views over the water (and illuminating the bright colors of the fall leaves) are a must-see.

Tickets range from $90-$133, Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays until mid-November, no children under 12; Portsmouth Junction Station, 2 Alexander Rd., Portsmouth, Rhode Island, thegrandbell.com .

Champlain Valley Dinner Train Experience

The Vermont Rail System offers two fall tours: the Champlain Valley Dinner Train, a three-hour round trip from Burlington to Charlotte for ages five and above; and Cocktails on the Rails, a lower-cost seat in the Dinner Train’s 21+ lounge car that comes with snacks and live music, but no three-course meal. Either option offers resplendent views of Western Vermont’s lush and glowing leaves, but the lounge car can get a little saucier, if you’re lucky.

Begins at $198 for a shared table for two on the Dinner Train, ages 5 and up; $ 65 for Cocktails on the Rails, 21+ ; Vermont Rail System , 1 Railway Ln, Burlington, rails-vt.com .

To fully take advantage of all this tour has to offer, guests need to be able to walk longer distances, climb several flights of stairs and navigate steps and uneven terrain walking for extended periods of time over more difficult terrain (e.g. cobblestones, city hills, stairs without handrails, limited or no access to elevators). Your itinerary can include significant changes in temperature and altitude and may require a higher number of longer travel days with morning and/or evening activities. Most trips will feature long touring days, many full-day excursions and a full and active itinerary with a faster pace and longer distances. Excursions require standing and walking to city centers where coaches are prohibited.

Appropriate for: Travelers who are physically fit, expect a vigorous pace and enjoy participating in two to three hours of physical activity per day.

For your reference, we send to you a detailed itinerary approximately 3-4 weeks prior to the scheduled tour departure. This has day-by-day times and events, hotel information where you can be reached in case of an emergency, and airline information.

The times listed on the itinerary are all approximate. We cannot be held responsible for schedule changes due to unforeseen circumstances with the weather, transportation agents, highway conditions, hotels or contracting agents.

EMERGENCY CONTACT

It is always a good idea to carry on your person a list of medications that you are taking and an emergency contact phone number while you are traveling. And we suggest making a copy of the itinerary and provide it to a friend or family member.

AIRLINE TICKETS

You will be issued your boarding pass the morning of our departure, after your arrival at the Tucson International Airport. If you have a frequent flyer number, or a TSA number, please call our office at least 3 days prior to the tour to ensure we can note these in your reservation. If you are joining the tour from locations other than Tucson, we make other arrangements for you to join the tour. Please call our office for more details.

We have arranged for handling for one piece of luggage per person regarding the skycaps (where available) and hotels. If you check through luggage note that the maximum weight for the checked piece of luggage is 50 pounds and maximum size is 62 inches (length + width + height). If your bag weighs over 50 pounds the airlines will levy an extra fee that you will be responsible to pay. If you feel the need to lock your checked through luggage and your bag is searched, your lock could be damaged in the process. You can purchase a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) accepted and recognized lock at any luggage store. Make sure you ask for a TSA approved lock. These locks are the kind that TSA screeners can open by using a special tool without breaking. Passengers can carry-on 1 bag (dimensions are limited to 10x16x24 inches), plus a personal type bag, like a purse. We advise that you pack your carry-on lightly. There are restrictions regarding your carry on baggage and contents due to enhanced security.

CHECKED BAGGAGE FEES

On our scheduled airline for this tour, passengers are assessed a fee per checked in bag, by the Airlines, upon checking in for the flight.

GRATUITIES/ITEMS INCLUDED IN PRICE

All hotel baggage handling fees are included. We also include basic gratuities for the Tour Director, Coach Driver, Livery Drivers and local Tour Guides. If someone has truly gone above and beyond additional tipping is permitted, but never required.

For your convenience, we have a (round-tour) door-to-door pickup service with each multi-day tour. (This service is not available to all clients depending on your location.) Approximately 2 to 3 days prior to the departure date you will receive a call from our office and we will tell you your assigned pickup time. (These times can vary up to 15 minutes depending on traffic.)

LODGING REQUESTS

If you would like to request special accommodations at the hotel(s) where we are lodging, please call us as soon as possible and we will forward these requests for you. The phone numbers of the hotel(s) where we are staying are listed on the itinerary.

Many hotels around the country have instituted a "reconditioning fee" of $300 or more that is levied upon a guest that smokes in a non-smoking room. If this occurs during our tour you will be responsible for paying this fee to the hotel prior to check-out.

TRAVEL REQUESTS

We pay close attention to your requests but please realize that these are merely requests and cannot be guaranteed.

RESPONSIBILITY

Pleasurebent Tours acts solely as an agent in arranging hotels, transportation, sightseeing, baggage-handling, and other services and does not assume any liability for injury, damage, loss or delay due to any act or default of any company or person. We, along with our subcontractors, reserve the right to make changes to an itinerary if it is necessary for the proper handling of a tour.

WEATHER AND CLOTHING/MISC. SUGGESTIONS

The weather in New England, United States in late September can vary, but generally, it is a beautiful time to visit the region with pleasant fall conditions. Here's what you can typically expect:

Temperature: Daytime temperatures can range from the mid-60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit (around 18-24 degrees Celsius). However, it can get cooler in the evenings, with temperatures dropping into the 50s or even the 40s (10-15 degrees Celsius).

Fall Foliage: Late September is the beginning of the fall foliage season in New England. The leaves on the trees start to change colors, creating vibrant landscapes of red, orange, and yellow.

Rainfall: Rainfall can vary, but it's not typically a very rainy month. You might encounter occasional showers or overcast days, so it's a good idea to be prepared for some wet weather.

Humidity: Humidity levels tend to decrease compared to the summer months, making it more comfortable for outdoor activities.

Clothing: It's best to dress in layers for your comfort. Be sure to wear shoes that are appropriate for walking on various terrain.

Keep in mind that weather can vary from year to year, so it's a good idea to check a local weather forecast as your travel dates approach for more accurate and up-to-date information.

New England Rail Tour

Price:  $5,395+

Duration:  6 Days / 5 Nights

This unique New England Train Tour showcases the region’s historic rail lines, historic trains, and the possibility of New England fall foliage. Learn how historic railways brought urban Americans to the shores and mountains of Maine and New Hampshire as you experience spectacular views in the heart of New England’s famed White Mountains.

Day 1: Arrivals in Boston   Arrive into Boston at your leisure and meet the group this evening for orientation to the week ahead. Meals: Dinner

Day 2: Amtrak’s Downeaster & Explore Portland   This morning, experience America’s intercity passenger-rail renaissance aboard Amtrak’s Downeaster to Portland, Maine. We depart from North Station, located a mile and a half from South Station, Boston’s terminus for trains from outside of New England. The need to transfer across the congested city center led to the demise of intercity passenger trains in Maine and New Hampshire earlier than elsewhere in the Northeast. From 1965 until Downeaster service began in 2001, only commuter trains used North Station. Now five round trips a day link ten communities in three states. The two and a half hour ride winds along the Atlantic Coast through quaint towns in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Our midday arrival provides opportunity for you to discover downtown Portland. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 3: Maine’s Rail and Maritime History   This morning, we visit a gem of Maine history. In most of America “narrow gauge” meant three feet between the rails. In Maine, a gauge of two feet was adopted for logging railroads in the woods and by five common-carrier railroads that totaled 187 route-miles. The 43-mile Wiscasset Waterville & Farmington operated from 1895 until 1933. The WW&F Railway Museum has recreated 2.5 miles of the original railroad, which we ride on via train powered by a restored steam locomotive. Afterward we visit the Maine Maritime Museum at the historic Percy & Small Shipyard in Bath, ME. Exhibits tell the stories of the shipyard, the neighboring Bath Iron Works, and the place of Maine’s people and vessels in global commerce. Tonight you are free to dine on your own in Portland. Meals: Breakfast & Lunch

Day 4: Conway Scenic Railroad in the Mount Washington Valley   From the 1870s through the 1920s, multitudes of eastern city-dwellers summered in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and western Maine. They came by train and we will recreate a bit of their experience. A transfer from Portland by vehicle will take us to a midday train on a rail line they traveled. It became part of the Boston and Maine Railroad in 1890, and its passenger trains connected this valley with Boston until 1961. Freight service continued until 1972 and excursion trains began in 1974. After we transfer to the famed Omni Mount Washington Hotel. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 5: Crawford Notch in the heart of the White Mountains   In the morning we take another ride on the Conway Scenic Railroad through the White Mountains, this time through Crawford Notch in a historic dome car providing scenic views along this 5.5-hour ride. The Omni Mount Washington Hotel is among the finest of surviving historic resort hotels in the northeastern United States and we spend the afternoon exploring the hotel on a self-guided walking tour or simply relaxing on the wrap-around veranda. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 6: To the Summit of Mount Washington by Cog Railway   Ride to the 6,288-foot summit of America’s most topographically prominent peak east of Colorado. After he got lost hiking and spent a freezing night on the mountain, New Hampshire native Sylvester Marsh conceived of a railroad to the top. Though his idea was ridiculed, the New Hampshire legislature gave Marsh a charter to build it in 1858. The Civil War intervened, and the Mount Washington Cog Railway was not completed until 1869. It was the first of its kind in the world and it stimulated hotel expansion and transportation improvements throughout New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. Our train will employ a 19th Century steam locomotive built for the railway by Manchester Locomotive Works. After lunch we return to Boston for travel home. Meals: Breakfast & Lunch

7 Beautiful New England Fall Foliage Train Tours

A fall foliage train tour is a leisurely, old-fashioned way to experience the beauty of autumn in New England. Driving tours are an exhilarating way to leaf peep, but imagine the freedom of not having to fight traffic or keep your eyes on the road. Sit back, enjoy the sway of the train and the sounds of yesteryear, and take in New England's famous fall colors at just the right, relaxing speed.

There are several scenic fall train tours in the New England states. Advance reservations are a must in September and October, and before you book your trip, it is useful to plan your rail-riding adventure to coincide with seeing fall leaves at their peak .

Conway Scenic Railroad in New Hampshire

New Hampshire's White Mountains are one of the best places to see autumn's vibrant colors, and each year, Conway Scenic Railroad offers three tour options as the leaves turn. All trains depart from the supremely photogenic Conway Railroad Station in North Conway.

The Mountaineer Train takes passengers on an immersive, five to five hour, 40 minute trip along the historic Mountain Division line first used by the Maine Central Railroad in the 1870s. Guests ride in streamlined passenger cars from the 1950s. Leaving daily, the route winds through the Mount Washington Valley and over the Crawford Notch to Crawford Depot and Fabyan station.
