3-day Portland, Maine getaway with hotel stay and lighthouse tour

Portland, ME Getaway, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations packages this 3-day, 2-night getaway to Portland, Maine, described in the evidence as the state's largest city and a bustling seaport town. Travelers arrange their own Amtrak rail travel separately, priced by Rail Experts in Coach, Roomette, or Bedroom class from any of more than 500 Amtrak stations nationwide. The package itself covers 2 nights of hotel accommodations, admission to the Portland Museum of Art, and a sightseeing city tour that takes in each of Portland's lighthouses, the historic Old Port, the Arts District on Congress Street, and Cape Elizabeth at the entrance to Portland Harbor. That tour is seasonal, running May through October, and the evidence does not name a replacement outside those months. With no day-by-day itinerary published and a short two-night stay, this getaway suits travelers who want a compact, low-cost coastal city break built around one lighthouse-focused tour rather than a longer escorted itinerary.
