Cruises from Boston

Docking: Cruises from Boston dock at Flynn Cruiseport, in South Boston’s vibrant Seaport District.

Attire: Famous for its rugged coastlines, active outdoor lifestyle and maritime traditions, Boston is equally known for its changeable weather. Bright and sunny days can quickly turn blustery, and bathing suit weather can become sweater weather the moment the sun sets and temperatures drop. Whether you plan to enjoy summer coastal activities during a family cruise vacation in July or August or experience spectacular autumn foliage in late September or October, you’ll want to pack practical attire, from swimsuits and quick-dry athletic shirts to cozy sweaters and waterproof jackets. It is also a must to pack sports sandals and sturdy sneakers or hiking boots as you will be spending time outdoors and walking over a variety of uneven surfaces.

Transportation: You can get around by public transportation, rental cars, and taxis.

Before getting on a cruise from Boston, or after your debarkation, place your feet along the Freedom Trail, visit the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, discover the Institute of Contemporary Art, taste-test lobster rolls at Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, tour the campuses of Harvard and MIT in Cambridge, or relax at Boston Common, America’s oldest park. One of the most historically rich and attraction-abundant cities in the US, Boston is brimming with activities for all kinds of travelers.
