I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on purchase of a small ships coastal cruise of Maine. Eight days–seven nights, starting and ending in Portland.
Based on on-board amenities, there might not be many opportunities to sample foods ashore. But we sure would like to discover a place or two that has exceptional oysters on the half shell, or, lobster rolls, or Atlantic Cod sandwiches.
Ports-of Call beginning (and ending) with Portland include:
Boothbay Harbor,
Camden,
Bar Harbor,
Castine,
Bath, and
Rockland
I would appreciate suggestions. Enthusiasm encouraged.
We have visited Coastal Maine for many years, but never took a cruise. Sounds great! If you get to beautiful Castine, a charming vintage town, I would recommend Dennett’s Wharf for shellfish and sandwiches. Nice view of the bay…
Yep, Castine is a port of call on this cruise, gutreactions. And Dennett’s sounds like just what we’re looking for to peel off from the village tour after a bit.
