Lake Winnipesaukee Cruises by Mount Washington Cruises

Located in the heart of New Hampshire, Laconia offers a gateway to one of the region’s most iconic bodies of water—Lake Winnipesaukee. With its 72 square miles of glistening waters dotted by over 250 islands, the lake has long been a destination for adventurers, families, and anyone looking to mix scenic immersion with enjoyable leisure. Mount Washington Cruises stands out as a premier way to experience this natural playground, providing a lineup of narrated tours and themed cruises seeking to put a fresh spin on lake travel.

At the core of the experience are the narrated scenic tours departing from Weirs Beach, Wolfeboro, and Alton Bay. These cruises blend informative commentary with striking views, revealing details about the lake’s geography, historic landmarks, and the communities peppered along its shores without overwhelming you with nonstop chatter. The M/S Mount Washington itself, an historic vessel, adds character while slicing through placid waters framed by wooded islands and charming lakefront homes.

Beyond sightseeing, the company offers themed cruises that add a festive edge to classic lake cruising—from the seasonal Independence Day Dinner Cruise and Halloween Masquerade Ball to the whimsical Royal Fairytale Voyage. Food and live music frequently accompany evening sails like the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Lobster Bake, making each outing as much about celebration as it is about the outdoors. Brunch and holiday cruises cater to more laid-back tastes, inviting families and couples alike to savor the lake’s ambiance.

Mount Washington Cruises connects visitors to Lake Winnipesaukee in a way few other local businesses do, offering both education and entertainment on the water year-round. Whether seeking a serene afternoon amidst pine-fringed islands or a lively holiday-themed event afloat, this company anchors a unique segment of New Hampshire’s outdoor recreation scene. Its attentive crew consistently earns praise for friendly, accommodating service that makes every trip welcoming, comfortable, and memorable.
