  2. Cruise Port Spotlight: Boston

    A frequent stop and embarkation port on New England/Canada and Bermuda voyages as well as starting point of some seasonal Caribbean cruises and an occasional stop on trans-Atlantic voyages, Boston has seen a dramatic increase in cruise business in recent years. The city welcomed its one-millionth cruise passenger in 2011 and launched an $11 million renovation to the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal including a new third floor with 60,000-square feet of space for passenger processing at Cruiseport Boston in 2010. Passenger-friendly Cruiseport Boston is only a couple of miles from the city’s downtown with plentiful taxis when ships are in port and a trolley shuttle that links the waterfront to such must-sees as the colonial-style Faneuil Hall Marketplace on 1, Faneuil Hall Square, Quincy Market, a historic building on 4, South Market Street with great shops and peddler carts galore; the New England Aquarium with more than 70 exhibits with aquatic animals from around the world at Central Wharf, near Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market; and Copley Square in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood with diverse architectural styles including such buildings as Boston’s Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library and the John Hancock buildings including a tower by noted Chinese architect I.M. Pei. Back Bay also boasts such landmarks as the Boston Public Garden; Boston Common, America’s oldest public park; and the Cheers Pub, “where everybody knows your name.”
