Boston is the oldest continually active major port in the Western Hemisphere.
Though it did not become an international cargo port until 1630, for at least four thousand years previously, it had served as a settlement and trading area for native American tribes.
After the Massachusetts Bay Colony was formed, the port became a very busy place. Today Boston has come of age as a world-class destination rich in history, culture, excitement and charm. From our award-winning restaurants and hotels to legendary sporting, cultural, medical and educational institutions, Boston is the best place to visit whether on a port-of-call, or before or after an originating cruise. It also serves as the gateway to New England, and the allure of the region's fall foliage.
Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Boston Logan International Airport, Cruiseport Boston is located less than two miles from Boston's neighborhoods, including historic Back Bay, trendy Newbury Street and Copley Square shopping areas and the city's newest culinary hotspot, the South End -- all within walking distance from each other. Running from April through December 17, the 2007 cruise season boasts 103 vessel calls, sailing north along the majestic New England and Canadian coastline, south to the pink sand beaches of Bermuda, or east across the Atlantic to Europe. Currently, 15 major cruise lines call the Port of Boston: Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Classic International Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Cunard Line, Fred Olsen Cruise Line, Hapag Lloyd Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, P&O Cruises, Phoenix Reisen Cruises, Phoenix Seereisen, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, and Saga Holidays all serve Cruiseport Boston and provide passengers with an attractive mix of cruises to New England/Canada, Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Europe |
