Portland, Maine is one of the best day or overnight trips you can make from Boston. With beautiful scenery, top-tier restaurants, and plenty of arts & culture to check out, and gorgeous hotels, you can easily spend a delightful weekend here.
This summer, round-trip tickets from Boston to Portland cost as low as $24. Add an additional ticket and get it for half the price ($12), split the deal with a friend and that’s only $18 to travel from Boston to Maine per person! You’ll take the Downeaster Amtrak from North Station all the way to Portland – a 2.5-hour trip through beautiful New England paying under just $18 each way if split evenly with a friend-meaning your round-trip train travel to Maine is $36!
The deal applies to all travel between Boston North Station (BON) and Maine through December. This also means travelers can apply the BOGO deal when taking the Downeaster to these all cities on the Maine route:
- Brunswick
- Freeport
- Portland
- Old Orchard Beach
- Saco
- Wells
