What to Know About Cruises from Boston

Once a quiet estuary of Massachusetts Bay, today Boston Harbor is a bustling area with the Flynn Cruiseport welcoming passengers as they begin their vacations at sea or visit Boston as a port of call. Here’s everything you should know about cruises out of Boston.

Boston at a glance

    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.

    Imagine a picturesque historic street in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood, lined with gaslit lanterns, brick row houses, and ornate ironwork. The scene is set against a clear blue sky with wispy clouds, showcasing the area's well-preserved 19th-century architecture.
