Classic New England

Welcome to New England! Your Tour Director is on hand from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. to answer any questions.

Head north into Maine, known for its rugged coastline, historic lighthouses, and maritime traditions. Stop in Portland, Maine’s largest city, for a sightseeing tour featuring the Old Port waterfront, where cobblestone streets, working fishing wharves, restaurants, and shops reflect the city’s seafaring heritage. Continue northeast through Bangor to Bar Harbor, a popular seaside resort and gateway to Acadia National Park. (CB)

Bar Harbor is located on Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park. Drive through forests, past rocky shoreline and mountain scenery, and ascend Cadillac Mountain for panoramic views of the park and surrounding coastline. At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the East Coast and one of the first places in the country to see the sunrise. The afternoon is free to explore the town of Bar Harbor. Stroll along the Shore Path, browse local shops and galleries, or ask your Tour Director for recommendations on sightseeing and dining. (B)

Travel through inland Maine, passing farmland, lakes, blueberry barrens and forests known for their vibrant autumn colors. Along the way, see historic stone walls that mark centuries-old farms and enjoy the scenic landscapes that define rural New England. Stop in Farmington, a community settled by veterans of the American Revolution, before continuing to North Conway in New Hampshire’s White Mountains for a two-night stay. (B)
