Do all seats offer the same experience?
Any seat on the M/S Mount Washington offers spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee, but some areas offer slightly different experiences. All seating is "first come, first served" on narrated scenic tours, and we encourage passengers to move around and explore the ship at their leisure.
Main Deck
The largest area on the M/S Mount Washington, the Main Deck offers the most amenities of any section of the ship, including restrooms, grille, bar, and gift shop.
The Main Deck is also the handicapped-accessible area of the ship. Passengers with mobility concerns or difficulty with stairs should be seated here.
Promenade
The Promenade is the outside walkway on the second deck of the ship, including a seating area located on the bow. This area of the ship offers beautiful views of the lake in a completely outdoor setting.
Please note that the Promenade is an outdoor deck and passengers in this area will be exposed to the elements and should plan accordingly. In the event of severe winds or inclement weather, passengers will be directed to an indoor area of the ship.
Captains Lounge
Located directly under the wheelhouse on the second deck, the Captains Lounge is a relaxing, quiet area of the ship with decor and memoribilia that celebrates the individuals who have served as Captain of the M/S Mount Washington. Popular for small private events, this indoor lounge offers beautiful views of the lake with doors leading to the Promenade.
Flagship Lounge
Located on the second deck of the ship toward the stern, the Flagship Lounge is a larger lounge featuring photography and artifacts that celebrate the flagship of the Winnipesaukee Fleet. Popular for larger private events, this indoor lounge has a stage for live entertainment, dance floor, and full bar.
3rd Deck Forward
Located directly behind the wheelhouse, this open air section of the ship is located under a large awning to provide a shelter from the elements.
Please note that the Third Deck is an outdoor deck and passengers in this area will be exposed to the elements and should plan accordingly. In the event of severe winds or inclement weather, passengers will be directed to an indoor area of the ship.
3rd Deck Aft
Located on the third deck on the stern of the ship, this open air section is completely open to the elements, with casual seating that makes it easy for passengers to mingle and make new friends.
Please note that the Third Deck is an outdoor deck and passengers in this area will be exposed to the elements and should plan accordingly. In the event of severe winds or inclement weather, passengers will be directed to an indoor area of the ship.
