Boston offers historic roots combined with a modern city. It is one of the oldest cities in the United States. "Perhaps Boston can be best described as a welcome contradiction: Hip alongside historic. Skyscrapers surround parks. Gourmet meets pizza."

Many New England and Canada cruises depart from Boston, or include it as a port of call on their itineraries.  Shore excursions? There is plenty to see and do. Many cruise lines include a free shuttle to Faneuil Hall Marketplace, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.

One of the most popular ways 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, Globus 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 Fall Foliage self-driving or escorted tour also that include Boston in the itinerary.
