Cruise port Boston, known as the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, opened in 1986. The terminal is currently used by over 300,000 passengers each year. The terminal is a gateway for cruises departing to Bermuda, Canada and more. Cruise port Boston is less than 2 miles from Faneuil Hall and Freedom Trail. It is only 3 miles from Boston's Back Bay. In the fall of 2010 a renovated and expanded terminal was launched that transformed into a 21st Century point of departure for vacationers.
The 2012 cruise season at the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal runs from April to November. Almost 20 cruise lines call on the port each season. Cruises sail north along the New England and Canadian coastlines or south to the Caribbean and Bermuda.
There are four ships that are home-based at Cruise port Boston:
Norwegian Cruise Lines' Norwegian Dawn
Holland America’s Maasdam
Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas
Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Glory
