9 Lighthouse Cruise – Northern Penobscot Bay, Maine

This is the fourth of five exclusive boat trips the American Lighthouse Foundation has partnered with Camden Harbor Cruises for in 2025 – come along and see some of the offshore lighthouses in Midcoast Maine! 

Join us on Saturday, August 16th for a special 8-hour cruise aboard the Camden Harbor Cruise’s vessel, Periwinkle to see 9 lighthouses around Northern Penobscot Bay, Maine. Lighthouses you will see see include: Curtis Island, Grindle Point, Fort Point, Dyce Head, Pumpkin Island, Eagle Island, Mark Island, Goose Rocks, and Browns Head!

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

We will cruise by each lighthouse for close-up views during the trip giving 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: $225 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 Periwinkle.
