Mount Washington Cruises - NH - Unique LGBT Wedding Reception Ceremony Site

The Most Beautiful Scenic Cruise in New England
The M/S Mount Washington has been a Winnipesaukee icon for over a hundred years. The majestic ship can be seen cruising the crystal clear waters of Lake Winnipesaukee every day from late May through late October. Winnipesaukee (an native American name meaning beautiful water in a high place) covers 72 square miles and contains more than 250 habitable islands. It is surrounded by mountain ranges and mostly spring fed. It is the most beautiful scenic cruise in all of New England. Our ports of call include Weirs Beach (the Mount’s home port), Wolfeboro and Alton Bay.
