A few one-way autumn sailings go south to Fort Lauderdale or San Juan. See the ports.

Hotels

Which hotels near the Boston cruise port have a shuttle?

No hotel near the Boston cruise port advertises a cruise shuttle or park-and-cruise package, and Massport tells guests to ask a travel advisor or their cruise line. Four Seaport hotels are close enough to walk to Black Falcon: Hampton Inn Boston Seaport District, Hyatt Place Boston/Seaport District, Renaissance Boston Seaport District and the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport. Compare them.

Can I walk to the Boston cruise terminal from my hotel?

Yes, from the Seaport: the Hampton Inn Boston Seaport District is about 0.4 miles from the Black Falcon terminal, and Hyatt Place, the Renaissance and the Omni are 0.6 to 0.75 miles away. From downtown it's farther. Massport says the walk takes about 30 minutes, so most people take a cab or the Silver Line with bags. See the hotels.

How far is the Seaport Hotel from the Boston cruise terminal?

The Seaport Hotel Boston, at 1 Seaport Lane, is about 0.85 miles from the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, roughly an 18-minute walk. It's on Massport's list of nearby hotels. It's a little farther than the four hotels we show, so with heavy bags a short cab ride is easier. See closer hotels.

Getting there

How far is the Boston cruise port from the airport?

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is about 4.4 miles from the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, roughly a 10-minute drive without traffic.

Where do I get an Uber after my cruise in Boston?

After a Boston cruise, ride apps can't pick up on Black Falcon Avenue: Massport moves pickups to 93 Fargo Street. Follow the RIDE APP signs outside the terminal to the free shuttle there.

Embarkation day

What time should I arrive at the Boston cruise terminal?

Massport opens the Boston cruise terminal to embarking passengers at 10:30 a.m., and boarding usually starts around noon. Arrive at your line's assigned time and at least 2 hours before departure: Norwegian asks you not to come more than an hour early, Holland America no more than 20 minutes. The terminal has no food or drinks, so eat first. See parking.

Do I need a passport to cruise from Boston to Canada?

Not always: on a round-trip cruise from Boston, U.S. citizens can sail with a valid passport, or with proof of citizenship such as a state-certified birth certificate plus a government photo ID, Massport says. It still strongly recommends a passport valid six months past your trip, so you can fly home if you miss the ship or must leave the cruise early.
