Explore the Kennebec River where shipbuilding began more than 400 years ago and continues today. Cruise down river to enjoy a water view of the museum’s historic shipyard and two of the Kennebec’s famed lighthouses: Doubling Point Light and the Kennebec Range Lights. Then cruise past Bath Iron Works and see spectacular views of the Navy’s most advanced ships taking shape.
Passengers will remain on the boat for the length of the cruise. The Merrymeeting's professionally trained crew provides fascinating narration and a safe, comfortable cruise. We're pleased to offer a snack bar onboard with beer, wine, soda and light snacks.
