Experience Acadia like never before
[dropcap letter=”I”]t’s hard to imagine a more beautiful spot in the world than the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia. On a Down East Adventure a few years ago I was lucky enough to see the sunrise from this summit. It’s nothing short of a spiritual experience — watching those first rays of light hit the horizon, an expanse of ocean dotted with picturesque islands. Whenever I stand on those rocks and look out at this cherished National Park, I feel so incredibly lucky to be there. This cruise offers a really unique opportunity to see Acadia from the perspective of an historic schooner, but you also get a greatest hits tour of this treasured park, including a trip to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. — Kathleen Fleury, editor in chief
