About Boston

Boston is the cradle of the American Revolution and the cultural heart of New England — a compact, walkable city where the Freedom Trail threads 16 historic sites through colonial streets, leafy Common, and the Italian North End. Add world-class museums, Fenway Park, and harbour seafood, and it's one of the richest ports on the Canada/New England run.

💡
Insider Tip

Boston is made for walking — follow the red Freedom Trail line on the sidewalk and you'll hit the big sights in order without a map. Save room for a North End cannoli, and note the cruise terminal is a ride from the historic core.
