Destination: Portland

Portland is a fusion of classic character and modern charm comprised of Victorian architecture intermixed with trendy design, salty fishermen working aside fresh millennials, local fare and fine purveyors. Walk the cobblestone streets, dine at award winning restaurants, visit local craft breweries, and explore the Calendar Islands of Casco Bay - to start…

CuLTURE

Once a trading and fishing settlement, Portland has maintained much of its 19th century architecture, landmarks, and flavor. The small city is a true art community where independence thrives and is widely celebrated. Take a historic walk, or workout, through town to see all of it’s traditional New England charm.

casco bay islands

The Casco Bay Islands offer a slower pace of life, where the salty air whisks away your cares, and the greatest decision of the day is which flavor of ice cream to choose at the local parlor. Bicycle the island trails, explore historic forts, sunbathe on the beach, or simply mix with the locals over a good meal.
