In Colonial times, "Downeast" was used to describe the journey of the tall ships from Boston Harbor to Maine. Today, Amtrak is proud to announce the arrival of its sleek and sophisticated Downeaster Passenger Rail Service connecting Boston, Massachusetts to Portland, Maine with a magical seven-stop journey along the New England shoreline. You will find colonial cities rich in history, beautiful beaches, majestic lighthouses, quaint villages, world-class shopping and a thriving arts and entertainment scene, not to mention the best lobster and seafood in the world! Outdoor activities in the area include biking, kayaking, skiing, boating, fishing and more. And Downeaster stops have inter-modal facilities, so you can easily travel on to Nova Scotia, Bar Harbor, Acadia, Kennebunkport, Freeport, Old Orchard Beach, the White Mountains and scores of other destinations. Whether you're traveling for recreation, relaxation, business or a combination, make the most of your time by riding the Downeaster.
