The Spirit of Boston Dinner Cruise is a delightful and memorable experience. There is no hotel pick-up for the cruise but the departure point – 200 Seaport Boulevard on the Commonwealth Pier – can easily be reached by public transportation.
From South Station, take the MBTA Silver Line Waterfront (one level above the Red Line, one below the food court) to World Trade Center Station. Take the stairs/escalators/elevators to the second level and exit onto World Trade Center Ave. The Seaport Hotel will be ahead on the right.
To obtain your boarding pass please present your voucher and photo ID at the activity operator’s ticket desk at the dockside. Boarding begins 30 minutes before sailing time. Make sure you arrive in good time so you can settle down comfortably to enjoy the trip.
A keepsake photo of you and your party will be taken upon boarding, so go ahead and smile for the camera! (You can decide to purchase or not, when you dock.)
You’ll know you’re in for a special evening the moment you step aboard Spirit’s elegant decks and are escorted to your candlelit table. Order drinks (payable direct), then feel free to explore the ship while the crew casts off for 3 fabulous hours on Boston Harbor.
