If you prefer to leave the details of sightseeing to someone else, a guided tour will be best. Most cruise lines offer guided tours of Bar Harbor, Mt. Desert Island and Acadia National Park as land packages during the ship s stay.
Excursions vary from cruise line to cruise line.
Some may include meals and drinks and the number of stops may vary, so the final price may be greater or less than prices listed below. Check with your ship s shore-excursion staff or your travel agent for additional information. The trip usually includes a refreshment stop at the Jordan Pond House. The cookout generally begins with native steamed clams, followed by steamed lobster accompanied by corn on the cob and cole slaw. About 4 hours.
