Illustration of Portland and Acadia National Park Getaway

Amtrak Vacations offers this 5-day, 4-night Portland and Acadia National Park Getaway, pairing a guided harbor cruise in Portland, Maine, with a self-driven trip up the coast to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Two nights in Portland include the cruise past some of the city's lighthouses, and a 4-day mid-size rental car then covers the two nights in Bar Harbor, where the package points you toward Acadia's rocky beaches, granite peaks, and Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the East Coast. This getaway suits travelers who want a mix of guided sightseeing and independent coastal driving.
