    Portland, ME to Bath, ME

    Mostly night time cruise through another million lobstah pots up the Kennebec River to the historic ship-building town (since 1750) of Bath, Maine, docking at the Maine Maritime Museum. We’ll tour that in the morning, and a guided walking tour of Bath in the afternoon. It’s a brisk 49 degrees this morning with a predicted high of about 79. The ship takes up more than the length of the entire Maritime Museum dock, so there are no cruise ships in town. Ship draft is only eight feet, which allows more flexible docking anywhere.

    The meals are great and just the right serving portions.    Read more
