Cruises to Bar Harbor
BAR HARBOR
Bar Harbor was New England's number one summer resort in the 19th century, home to the largest hotel in North America and to Millionaires Row, a line of Newport-style "cottages" built for America's richest and most powerful families including Rockefellers, the Fords and the Vanderbilts. In Bar Harbor today you can go boating or fishing along the town's coastline, sample local craft beers or visit the oceanarium, zoo or a lumberjack show.
