As much as we love our friends and families' children, due to the emphasis on party and presence of alcohol, children will not be invited on the boat.
The dress code is semi-formal. We recognize that we'll be on the water and we recommend bringing additional layers to stay warm and enjoy the party. It may be helpful to check the weather prior to know what to wear as we all run with different temps. Our hope is that once you put on your dancing shoes there will be other ways to warm up!
There will not be a shuttle to the celebration. As Portland is known for it's walk-ability, Casablanca Cruises is easily walkable from most locations on the Portland Peninsula. If walking is not your thing, you can find on-street parking or park at the various parking garages in Portland. Casco Bay Parking Garage is the closest, located about a block from Custom House Wharf at 54 Commercial Street. Other parking garages included: Custom House Square Garage at 25 Pearl Street; Dimillo's Parking Lot at 25 Long Wharf; and Ocean Gateway Garage at 167 Fore Street. Casco Bay Lines has a helpful PDF as well: https://www.cascobaylines.com/uploads/Parking-Convenient-to-Casco-Bay-Lines-Map-PDF.pdf. Otherwise, there is the option to take a taxi (207 Taxi, ASAP Taxi, Portland Express Taxi) or Uber. Unlike Boston, Portland is not known for their transit system- whether that's a good or bad thing we'll leave that up to you to decide.
In favorable weather, the boat has an open deck with a covered bar up top. The open deck is where The Dapper Gents will be playing and you can expect to get your groove on there. Below deck will have tables and chairs for sitting. In unfavorable weather, there is a bar here that will be used as well.
The Cruise is scheduled to disembark at 9:00 pm at the Custom House Wharf, which is conveniently located next to The Porthole Restaurant and Pub. Once off the boat, you are free to do whatever you please. If you're feeling up to it, we would love for you to join us as we venture to Three Dollar Deweys to continue the celebration. There, we will have a live DJ and karaoke until close at 1:00 am.
