Creator's Key Takeaways

It is a beautiful morning. After the last several, we've earned this. I do say beautiful.

That was quick and easy. So, now we're going to stop and get our sticker and then we can go.

It was a great way to experience some of the city streets and sightes of Portland.

Today was a great port day in Portland, Maine. What made it even more special was that weather.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the self-guided Portland Freedom Trail for a free and informative walking tour.
Bring a reusable water bottle and fill it at the Garden Cafe to avoid using the dispenser directly.
Check the ship's daily schedule for immigration group assignments and meeting locations.

Welcome to Day 7 of our Canada & New England Cruise onboard the Norwegian Jade! In today’s vlog, we’re exploring the Portland, Maine cruise port, giving you a real look at what to expect during a port day in this charming New England city. The day begins with U.S. immigration onboard Norwegian Jade, where I show you how the process works for cruise passengers re-entering the United States. After clearing immigration, we head out for a morning stroll through downtown Portland, Maine, soaking in the local atmosphere and the Portland Freedom Trail before returning to the ship for lunch. In the afternoon, we explore the Eastern Promenade, one of the most scenic spots in Portland, Maine with panoramic views of Casco Bay — a must-see if you’re wondering what to do in Portland, Maine on a cruise stop.
