Portland Maine Cruise Port, City Tour & Harbor Cruise Highlights (4K)
We visited beautiful Portland Maine via cruise ship and spent a fun day there. We started at the Portland Maine Cruise Terminal on Ocean Gateway pier. From there we took a free trolley ride into Old Port as we had booked tours with Portland Discovery online in advance. It looked like you could buy the tickets right outside the cruise terminal as well. The tour guide who drove the trolley provided some interesting tidbits & informative tips about the city before dropping us off at Long Wharf.
From there we took a one hour 45 minute trolley tour of Portland, seeing various highlights of the city, including a stop at the famous Portland Head Lighthouse at Fort Allen Park.
We then ate lunch at Portland Lobster Co (lobster roll & chowder), and tried some delicious Maine potato donuts by Holy Donuts.
After that we went on an hour long Lighthouse Lover's Harbor Cruise. There we saw the various attractions such as the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, Ram Ledge Lighthouse and another scenic visit of the Portland Head Lighthouse.
Afterwards to walked to Duckfat and tried some Poutine (a bit too salty but pretty good), before walking back to the cruise port to return to our ship, the Celebrity Summit.
This was from our late June 2019 Bermuda & New England cruise on the Summit. Hope you get some good ideas on where to visit in Portland Maine if you have just one day, and please feel free to ask questions & we'd be happy to reply!

Want to go on the best lobster cruise in Portland? My favorite is the Lucky Catch Cruise. What makes this company so different is the education you receive about the lobster industry and all that goes into a lobster fishing trip. We hauled in traps, learned about the anatomy of a lobster, and bound their claws. One of the coolest parts about this lobster tour is that they work in partnership with a local restaurant. Head over to the Portland Lobster Company where they take what we catch from the lobstering excursion and eat your fill! As far as Portland, Maine tour boats, this is the best.

Wreck of the Portland - Discovery
Over a decade before great ships like the Titanic were cruising the Atlantic, side-wheel steamers like the Portland were the pride of their respective fleets. The ships had a reliability advantage over sailing vessels and were the state-of-the-art luxury transportation of the time. On Thanksgiving weekend in November of 1898, the steamer Portland with 192 aboard, left Boston Harbor headed for Portland, Maine... but ran straight into a monstrous storm moving up the coast. The steamers were extremely unstable in high seas and the Portland was never seen again until its wreck was first located in 1989 and then, an expedition in 2002, using remotely operated vehicles, confirmed that it was indeed the Portland. Working with the Discovery Channel and David Clark Productions, Home Run Pictures produced 90 seconds of animation visualizing what scientist believe may have been the fate of the Portland. The steamer's long, narrow shape and shallow draft probably caused its crew to loose control in the rough seas... so they could not keep the steamer's bow pointing into the oncoming waves. Imagery of the wreck shows the top deck was ripped off... possibly by a rogue wave.

Planning for Working Waterfronts in Portland, Maine
William (Bill) Needelman, Waterfront Coordinator for the City of Portland, ME discusses the context and evolution of waterfront zoning in the City. Portland’s waterfront zoning law, which provides strong protection for commercial berthing while it allows higher end retail and restaurant uses that help subsidize pier improvements, has become a model for the nation. Mr. Needelman shares the City’s experiences and lessons learned in developing and implementing the new zoning regulations to enable both non-marine uses and traditional marine activity along an urban waterfront.
