Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to get together with friends and family and give thanks for everything wonderful in your life…but let’s be honest: the cooking and cleanup can be a real drag. This year, let someone else do the cooking! Hop aboard the Portland Spirit for a Thanksgiving Cruise.

This Thanksgiving, try something a little bit different. Instead of slaving away over a hot stove, then doing dishes for an hour after dinner, take a cruise on the Portland Spirit, and let them handle the entire meal.
