itinerary

 

 

Lighthouses aren't the only reason people found their way here. New England and eastern Canada have an unmistakable charm, rich history and natural beauty all their own. And there's no better time to visit than the fall - when the foliage is brilliant in every imaginable color, lighthouses dot the coastline, and there's always an authentic lobster bake going on somewhere.

 

 

 

 

 

DINING FOR OUR GROUP

 

We have requested early seating for dining.

 

The world-class food and décor in the main dining rooms makes them the perfect choice for groups both large and small! From heavenly appetizers and entrées to delectable desserts, this is fine dining that everyone can enjoy. And you'll also enjoy an extra special treat when our staff performs parades in the main dining room!
