Downeast Maine Cruise
Cruise Overview
Downeast Maine Cruise
You know the cardinal directions, but "DownEast" is specific to Maine. Originally, it described the path sailing ships took from New York and Boston, moving downwind and eastward. Over time, it has also come to symbolize the independent spirit and unique character of the people in this part of the northeastern coast.
This 8-day roundtrip all-Maine cruise begins in Bangor, a port city filled with astonishing scenery, intriguing tales, and the freshest seafood you can imagine. In Belfast, you can gaze at the spectacular homes of old sea captains and wander a lively waterfront scuttling with activity. Then, head over to Rockland for an epic lobster feast on the sandy shores, all set to the upbeat strums of a local bluegrass band. As the day fades, take an evening cruise in Bar Harbor, where the sunset views over Acadia National Park are simply out of this world.
Sail in style to Bath aboard our brand-new, catamaran-inspired ships. Dubbed the 'City of Ships,' Bath offers riveting maritime stories that can be uncovered with an expert-led walk. Venture to Boothbay to roam through the sprawling grounds of New England’s biggest botanical garden with a seasoned naturalist. Finish your sensational journey back in Bangor, the quirky hometown of horror maestro Stephen King and the historic “lumber capital of the world.”
From start to finish, taste the finest regional flavors and bask in unparalleled personalized service that'll make your voyage as comfortable as possible. This is not just a trip; it's a celebration of Maine in all its glory.
