Portland : Best of Maine Lighthouse Scenic Cruise (croisière panoramique des phares du Maine)

We hit a lot of fog so was unable to see a lot of the sights but the cruise was still enjoyable when the fog broke. Also got it see harbor seals! Would recommend but check the maritime forecast. This was a last minute decision and I didn’t check for fog.

Overall, the trip was very interesting. Portland area had an "excessive heat watch" alert for the day of our trip as the temperature was 89 degrees and sunny. As instructed, my wife and I arrived 30 minutes in advance. We and other customers stood in line in for a half an hour in the sun and oppressive heat. There were no shade areas available. We ended up boarding 5 minutes before the scheduled departure time. In light of the heat, the company should have boarded all customers as quickly as possible and well before departure time. Also, the boat used was different than the picture on the website at the time of booking. I would have most likely picked a different cruise with a different boat if the actual boat used had been pictured.

All of the staff members were exceedingly friendly and excellent at their jobs. We especially liked the gentleman who was the narrator on the upper deck. He had a vast knowledge of the sights we were seeing, he had a good sense of humor and he was helpful at answering questions. All in all, we enjoyed the cruise VERY much!
