The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Cross into Canada to explore the beloved summer retreat of Franklin D. Roosevelt — a 34-room "cottage" on a wild island shared between two nations. Dramatic coastline, old-growth forest, and one of history's most compelling family stories make this a once-in-a-lifetime half-day.
The Western Hemisphere's largest tidal whirlpool churns just off Eastport's shore — a raw, roaring natural phenomenon best witnessed from a private vessel at peak tidal flow. Up close, the 250-foot vortex is genuinely awe-inspiring and utterly unforgettable.
Hike to the easternmost point in the United States, where the candy-striped West Quoddy Head Lighthouse crowns dramatic 90-foot sea cliffs above the Bay of Fundy. Crashing surf, rare coastal peat bogs, and the chance to be first in America to see the sunrise make this deeply bucket-list.
Step inside North America's last remaining stone-ground mustard mill, operating since 1900 on the Eastport waterfront. A private mill tour reveals the Victorian cold-stone grinding process — still unchanged — and ends with an exclusive tasting of rare, small-batch varietals unavailable elsewhere.
The Tides Institute is one of coastal Maine's most serious and surprising art institutions — a vast archive and gallery occupying a landmark 1887 building, dedicated to the art and culture of the Quoddy region. A private curator-led tour unlocks exhibition spaces and archive rooms rarely seen by the public.
Eastport's own wilderness headland rewards hikers with panoramic 360° views of Passamaquoddy Bay, Cobscook Bay, and the Canadian islands — all within a 30-minute walk of the cruise pier. A local naturalist guide transforms a beautiful walk into a masterclass in Maine coastal ecology.
