Your cruise departs from the Commonwealth Pier at the World Trade Center in the Seaport District. Your excursion covers the historic harbor with spectacular views of the city's downtown. No trip to Boston is complete without a view from the deck of our festive ship. And while you're enjoying all the highlights, you can dine, dance and have a great time!

After dinner, our DJ picks up the beat for non-stop dancing. While you relax and have fun, every window displays an endless stream of city sights. Whether you want to dance at sunset or gaze in wonder at the Boston skyline, you'll find a different experience every minute.

The only thing more irresistible than the view is our menu, which offers you a satisfying array of choices and flavors. Our attentive servers cater to your every request so you can relax and enjoy yourself.

The two-hour Sunset Dinner Cruise will tempt you with a bountiful buffet offering a carving station, delicious entrée options, and savory side dishes.
