Our home for the next two nights is the luxurious Westin Portland Harborview, perfectly situated for festive fun. On the way, we’ll make a sweet stop at Len Libby Candies, where you’ll find delicious treats and the world’s only life-sized chocolate moose - yes, really! This evening, savor the season with our Welcome Holiday Dinner, followed by a heartwarming performance of the timeless classic ‘A Christmas Carol’ at the Portland Stage Theater. Let the magic of the holidays begin! Included: Dinner

Day 2: Art, Lights & Holiday Delights Wake up to a day full of culture and wonder. We begin with a docent-led tour of the Portland Museum of Art, home to a stunning collection of American, European, and contemporary works - including a special exhibit by Winslow Homer, one of Maine’s most iconic artists. Enjoy free time afterward to explore more of the museum, enjoy lunch at your leisure, or do a little shopping in the charming museum gift shop. As the sun sets, we’re off to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens for the dazzling ‘Gardens Aglow’ - New England’s largest holiday light display! Over 650,000 lights transform the gardens into a glowing winter wonderland. It’s pure magic! We’ll enjoy dinner on the way back to Portland Included: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 3: Kennebunkport Holiday Prelude – A Town Like No Other! We wrap up our holiday adventure with a trip to Kennebunkport, named #2 Christmas Town in America by HGTV! The town’s Holiday Prelude celebration is straight out of a snow globe - think festive craft fairs, twinkling decorations, charming boutiques, and cozy cafés. We’ll arrive in time for the famous Pooch Parade and a very special appearance by Santa arriving on a firetruck! After some free time to explore, shop, and enjoy lunch on your own, we’ll board our motorcoach for the journey home - with hearts full of cheer and perhaps a few extra shopping bags. And of course, we’ll celebrate one more time with our Motorcoach Holiday Party on the way back! Included: Breakfast
