Spirit of Boston Holds Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

Story by Marianne Salza

Boston Harbor City Cruises’ signature dining vessel, the Spirit of Boston, has returned to Commonwealth Pier, beside the Seaport World Trade Center, after year-long interior renovations following an onboard fire. Executives, corporate clients, members of the Boston Fire Department, and friends explored the ship over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres during a Dockside Showcase on April 24.

“This is an exciting moment for us. We lost the Spirit last year due to a small fire. We took the opportunity to have a renovation,” said Kelley Yelle, City Experiences/City Cruises General Manager. “We’re proud of it. It’s our wonderful icon of all of our ships in Boston.”

Vice President and General Manager of Boston Harbor City Cruises Bob Lawlyer, who designed the interior of the Spirit, explained that visitors can expect a fully modern finish.

“There was no damage to the hull or the vessel’s structure,” said Lawlyer. “We did renovations to just about everything our guests can see or touch, so we are excited. It’s like a brand new boat inside. It was a team effort. We wanted to make sure she was in great shape for our guests. I love the second deck bar.”

Although the bar itself was not renovated, the section below the bar, where the steel buckled, was replaced. A new fire-suppression system was also installed in the engine room and gally spaces.

The Spirit of Boston’s demolition process began in the Charlestown Navy Yard immediately after the fire in late March 2023. The Spirit was then relocated to a shipyard in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where the reconstruction project took place.

Nearly every soft surface of the 34-year-old vessel – such as the carpets, wall coverings, and ceilings — was remodeled to ensure there was no water damage or lingering smoke odor.

“The ship looks better than it ever has. The interior is what passengers notice. There are maps and décor on the walls. Things have been brightened and refreshed. It looks brand new,” said Deck Hand Jacob Deck, of Arlington, who is serving in his fourth season on the Spirit. “I love it here. My colleagues are amazing. It’s the best working environment in Boston.”

The four-level, 192-foot-long yacht can accommodate 600 passengers. The Spirit of Boston features two exterior observation decks, and three interior, climate-controlled dining areas. Guests can enjoy buffet-style dinners, and musical entertainment on a new sound system presented by an onboard DJ.

Your complete guide to the Boston cruise port

Tips for getting to the boston cruise port, the best restaurants near the boston cruise port, hotels near the boston cruise port, the best things to do in boston, boston cruise port excursions, princess cruises from boston.

You're packed and ready to set sail on the cruise of a lifetime, adventuring out of Boston for exciting experiences along the New England Coast and into Canada . The only thing that would make your vacation even better is feeling prepped with port logistics: How do you get there? Where can you park? Where are the best eats? What activities are there? 

Don’t worry; we've got you covered. Here's your complete guide to the Boston cruise port.

The Boston cruise port is situated at the Raymond L. Flynn Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, 1 Black Falcon Avenue, Boston, MA 02210.

Depending on your vacation plans, you might drive, use public transportation or rideshare. Be sure to plan for your arrival to give yourself plenty of time to park, walk and explore.

Best airports for a Boston cruise

For cruises out of Boston , the Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is ideal for flights, as it's a 10-minute drive from the Boston cruise port. The airport also offers a wide variety of public transportation options both to the cruise port and downtown.

Public transportation options

There are a few options to get to the Boston cruise port via public transportation:

Silver Line Bus

The Silver Line Bus is one of the best ways to commute to the Boston cruise port. To do this, you’ll eventually need to be on a Silver Line Two (SL2) bus, but if that’s not an option at your station, you can take the SL1 to the Silver Line Way station. That station will let you transfer to an SL2 bus to Drydock Avenue. When you arrive at Drydock Avenue, it’s about a 10-minute walk to Black Falcon Avenue, where the Boston cruise port is located.

Although the Silver Line subway from the airport doesn’t reach the Boston cruise port, you can take the Red Line subway to the South Station if you're in the city. You can take a SL2 bus to Drydock Avenue from there and walk to the port.

Rideshare and pickup/drop-off locations

If you’re using a rideshare service or have friends or family dropping you off at the Boston cruise port, port officers will direct the car to the proper drop-off locations once you arrive at Black Falcon Avenue.

For pickup, drivers must wait in the cell phone lot, located a quarter-mile away from the port at 42 Fid Kennedy Avenue, just east of the intersection with Tide Street. The route from the lot to the port is well-marked.

Boston cruise port parking lots

If you decide to park for your sailing out of the Boston cruise port, parking is available at 93 Fargo Street, Boston, MA 02210. You must make an online reservation before arrival to guarantee a spot. Make sure to arrive at least two hours early to allow time for the complimentary shuttle to the port.

Here are detailed driving directions for arriving at the parking lot.

• If you’re coming north on I-93, you’ll take Exit 20 to I-90 East/Logan Airport.
• If you’re coming from the west, you’ll follow the Massachusetts Turnpike toward the Logan Airport. 
• If you’re coming from the airport, enter the Ted Williams Tunnel (toll). 
• Then, follow these instructions: 
• Take Exit 25 (South Boston, right lane only), inside the tunnel.
• At the traffic lights, continue forward onto East Service Drive.
• At the next traffic signal, turn right onto Seaport Boulevard (changes to Northern Avenue).
• At the end of Northern Avenue, turn right onto Tide Street and make an immediate left onto Dry Dock Avenue.
• Follow Dry Dock Avenue and turn right onto Black Falcon Avenue.
• Port officers will direct you to the proper place to park. 

Eating in Boston is an experience you won’t soon forget, and there are some great dining options around the Boston cruise port.

Pete’s Dockside. A casual walk-up counter restaurant that offers breakfast, sandwiches, and fried seafood. Specials include fried haddock, lasagna, and shepherd’s pie.

Legal Test Kitchen.  A renowned seafood restaurant celebrated for its open-faced crab cake sandwich, truffle lobster mac-n-cheese and a must-try "Impossible Burger."
