Each and every summer, people pile into Portland, Maine, with a few things they need to mark off of their checklist.

One of those things is to take a boat cruise through Casco Bay to scope out all of the surrounding islands and enjoy the serenity of the ocean.

That'd led Casco Bay Lines to wonder, why does that only have to be a summer thing?

While some will be checking out incredible light displays, snapping a photo with Santa Claus or exploring an entire town decked out for Christmas, you could hop aboard Casco Bay Lines for a holiday-themed boat cruise this December.
