CRUISE: Midcoast Lights & Rivers (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)

Travel the Kennebec River for views of Doubling Point Light, the Kennebec Range Lights, Squirrel Point Light, Perkins Island Light, Pond Island Light, and Seguin Island Light on the horizon.  Then travel the winding Sasanoa River with its pristine shores and abundant wildlife. 

When weather permits, we'll also cruise the Sheeepscot River past Hendricks Head Light.                                

The Merrymeeting's professionally trained crew provides fascinating narration and a safe, comfortable cruise.  A snack bar with beer, wine, soft drinks and light snacks is onboard. Guests are welcome to bring aboard food and non-alcoholic beverages.

Day-of cruise tickets must be purchased in person or by calling (207) 443-1316 x331. The Merrymeeting is a 56' motor vessel with a covered lower deck and open seating on the upper deck. Cruises run in light rain and other moderate weather conditions. 

Cruises may be cancelled in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions or unmet minimum ticket sales, and cancellations are made by the Captain on the day of the cruise.  If the Museum cancels a cruise, you will have the opportunity to reschedule, or receive a refund.
