Bar Harbor will hold off on reducing cruise ship visits for 2022

MAINE PUBLIC • February 16, 2022

Bar Harbor will not impose new limits on the number of cruise ships and passengers visiting the town this summer. The Bar Harbor Town Council instead decided it will form a new group to negotiate with the cruise ship industry for 2023 and beyond. Councilors acknowledged the decision will likely disappoint many community members, who say the passengers overwhelm the town during a busy tourist season.
