Boston offers historic roots combined with a modern city. Many New England and Canada cruises depart from Boston or include it as a port of call on their itineraries. As far as shore excursions, for those that like to do things on their own, many cruise lines include a free shuttle to Faneuil Hall Marketplace, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.
Another way to spend the day, is to follow the Freedom Trail, a 2.5 mile that takes in much of Boston’s history. The trail begins at Faneuil Hall and goes to Boston Common, America’s oldest park.
Other popular attractions in Boston include Newbury Street, Copley Square, the New England Aquarium or the Boston Duck Tours. The duck tours combine the best of Boston with a cruise along the Charles river for breathtaking views of Boston and Cambridge.
If you prefer to spend several days in Boston, rather than a cruise, Monograms offers a 4 day package of Boston that includes a Go Boston Card for free admission to over 70 attractions. You can access last minute hotel deals on our web site, or consider a self-driving or escorted tour also that includes Boston in the itinerary.
