Cruisers can expect to be treated to spooky stories from Nesbitt while onboard, but the main draw is sure to be his port excursions.
What are the ports? There are three: Portland and Bar Harbor, Maine, and Halifax Nova Scotia.
Nesbitt will lead a spooky tour of Portland, a haunted trolley tour in Bar Harbor, and a ghost walk in Halifax.
But the ghost touring doesn’t end when the cruise does. Nesbitt is also offering a ghost tour of Boston followed by an overnight in Boston’s haunted Park Plaza Hotel.
And what does all of this ghost touring, haunt jaunting New England cruise fun cost?
- Cruise rates: $514.39 (interior cabin), $664.39 (ocean view cabin), $794.39 (balcony cabin).
- Port excursions in Portland, Bar Harbor, and Halifax: $65 (for all three, which is not too shabby as far as excursion rates go).
- The extension in Boston with the ghost tour and stay at the Park Plaza: $120.

Haunting sailing!
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
