Cruises from Boston
The Port of Boston is a major U.S. port with a storied history. It’s the oldest port in the Western Hemisphere that has remained continuously active, and it is also the site of the celebrated Boston Tea Party. As far as ports go, it’s famous, and it’s also fairly well known in the cruise world because it is a major departure point for cruises to New England and Canada. There are many cruises that depart from Boston, although only for part of the year. Cruises from Boston are also quite diverse in that five cruise lines, two of which are luxury lines, operate ships out of the port – many different styles of cruising can be had on the ships sailing from Boston. Since it’s hard to keep track of all the cruises from Boston, we’ve provided an overview of them below to give you a sense of what’s available. Read more […] -

It is, indeed, a major cruise ship port, albeit only during the summer season (approximately May to October). So, if you are taking a cruise from the East Coast, especially one that goes north to other parts of New England and Canada, there is a reasonably good chance you’ll sail from the Port of Boston, and if this is the case, you might want to know what there is to see and do in the port city of Boston. Below we supply precisely this information. Read more […]
