11 Lighthouse Cruise – Southern Penobscot Bay, Maine

This is the last of three exclusive boat trips the American Lighthouse Foundation has partnered with Camden Harbor Cruises for in 2026 – come along and see some of the offshore lighthouses in Midcoast Maine! 

Join us on Sunday, August 23rd for a special 8-hour cruise aboard the Camden Harbor Cruise’s vessel, Periwinkle to see 11 lighthouses around Southern Penobscot Bay, Maine. Lighthouses you will see see include: Curtis Island, Browns Head, Goose Rocks, Saddleback Ledge, Heron Neck, Two Bush, Tenants Harbor, Whitehead, Owls Head, Rockland Breakwater, and Indian Island!

We will depart from the Camden Public Landing at 8:00am aboard the Camden Harbor Cruises’ vessel Periwinkle and return to the dock around 4:00pm.

Our journey will take us to each lighthouse for close-up views and give participants ample time for photography.

In addition to the narration provided by the crew of the Periwinkle, an American Lighthouse Foundation representative will be onboard to share interesting lighthouse facts and tidbits.

Ticket Price: $250 per person. This is a special limited ticket event (14 tickets only) to allow comfortable space for photography — early booking is encouraged!

What to Bring:

This is a BYO event, so pack a lunch, snack and something to drink since we will be out all day. It can be cool out on the water, even during the summer, so we recommend you bring a sweatshirt or light jacket. Sunblock, hat and sunglasses are recommended too. Lastly, be sure to have your camera or binoculars!

Where do we park?

The town of Camden has two all-day parking lots: one is on Washington Street just past the fire station on the right, and the other is on Atlantic Avenue just past the Camden Public Library, on the left. Both are within walking distance of the public landing.

Is there a bathroom onboard?

Yes, there is a flushable toilet (or ‘head’ if you’re a mariner) on board the Periwinkle.
