The cruise season spans from May well into October, when the fall foliage is at its brilliant peak. Bar Harbor welcomes more than 100 ships annually, with close to 175,000 passengers going ashore. The town is nestled on the eastern side of Mount Desert Island, sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean by Frenchman Bay and surrounded on three sides by the mountains of Acadia National Park. Watch the lobstermen work, browse the souvenir shops, explore a museum and, of course, enjoy a Maine lobster bake.
Beyond the park, Bar Harbor (or as locals say: "Bah Hahbuh") has the charm of a quaint New England fishing village with all the attractions of a major port, and its touristy downtown area is hard to resist. Additional highlights include the 1,532-foot-high Cadillac Mountain and the Thunder Hole waterspout. The park offers stunning mountain, sea and lake vistas and craggy cliffs that plunge to the surf, as well as an estimated 125 miles of trails for hiking and biking. The 41,000-acre park is also one of the most heavily visited, drawing more than two million travelers per year. Acadia National Park - one of the smallest National Parks in the country - is the biggest draw in Bar Harbor, Maine.
