Sea Princess is locally owned and has been operating out of the calm and sheltered waters of Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island for over 25 years earning the widespread reputation as the finest boating value in the area. Each trip is narrated by experienced professionals and offers a scenic tour with emphasis on the abundant wildlife and unique geology. Spectacular views abound of seals, nesting osprey, eagles, porpoise, loons, eider ducks, quillemots, terns, and even an occasional whale.
The panoramic vista of the entire chain of mountains making up the Mount Desert range forms a spectacular backdrop. The Sea Princess passes by picturesque Bear Island Lighthouse and travels up Somes Sound, the only glacial-carved fjord in the Eastern United States. Along the route of each cruise many aspects of Maritime industry are evident including boat building activity, exotic pleasure yachts, working lobster boats, and quaint fishing villages. These memorable cruises will undoubtedly be the highlight of your vacation.
The morning cruise, sponsored by the National Park Service, is narrated by an official Acadia National Park Naturalist. Both afternoon cruises are narrated by Mel Everly, a retired Park Naturalist with over 20 years of experience conducting the Sea Princess Cruises. Mr. Everly earned his Master's degree in Biology and Ecology from Valparaiso University and taught Biology for over 30 years. Captain Rob Liebow, the owner of the Sea Princess and a former Biology teacher will be your host for the Sunset Dinner Cruise. Rob has captained the Sea Princess for over 25 years and brings great enthusiasm, experience, pride, and a wealth of local knowledge to this trip.
