Food was great! Nice river cruise to see the Portland bridges. Would recommend to anyone looking to explore Portland and hear more about Bridgetown!

Staff were great, views were great, ship was smooth and the cruise time felt adequate. The food was also good, and they didn’t skimp us on the mimosas! The only complaint is that my friend and I were a bit thrown off that although we arrived at the suggested 15 min early, the whole ship was pretty much sat with guests and everyone was already eating. We didn’t have the opportunity for a window seat and the buffet was quite picked through at the time of our arrival, but they did replenish some of it. It would have been good to know that you can arrive even earlier than suggested arrival time so that we didn’t feel like we were late to the party in sense. Overall, I would do it again and would recommend.

Thank you for joining us for a brunch cruise. Portland Spirit recommends a boarding time of 30 minutes prior to departure. We'll have to look at Viator's settings to see if we can find where they are recommending only 15 minutes. Thanks for bringing that to our attention! The window seats are pre assigned and are based on how early you book. Earlier booking has a better opportunity to receive a window seat. I hope that helps explain and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future!

Our table was perfect, the buffet satisfied (loved the beet and goat cheese raviolis and the mini croissants) endless mimosas, our server Luis was anything but amazing. Got to explore the upper outter decks mimosas in hand.
