Cruises to Boston, USA
Port description
Boston is one of America’s oldest cities, and is the capital of the state of New England. The city was the home of the founding fathers: this is the city that launched America. All that means that today, the city is one of the country’s most historic, with plenty of interesting buildings and streets to explore. The harbour and area around it are especially attractive. The city is well known for its food, particularly its seafood. However, a full range of culinary delights is on offer. Close by is the legendary Cape Cod, with its wet and wild sandy beaches.
Typical Excursion
Boston’s history is intricately tied up with its revolutionary past. The ‘Boston Freedom Trail’ is a walk around the city’s key historic buildings and sights. It is a great way to get to know Boston. The harbour is also a key part of the city’s history, scene of the famous Boston Tea Party. Boat tours head out around it, and visit some of its islands. They are an attraction in themselves: tourists and locals alike head out to them for day trips and even to camp overnight.
Boston’s food reflects its seaside location – New England Chowder is probably one of the most famous dishes, but all kinds of fish and shellfish are popular, including oysters. The city isn’t short of nightlife either, with lots of great bars to visit, including the legendary Cheers! Bar.
To have a look at, rather than eat, some fish, visit the New England Aquarium. This is one of the world’s leading aquariums, and attractions include sharks, rays, turtles and penguins as well as fish.
Outside the city lies Cape Cod, a great place to visit to fresh air and sunshine. Sweeping sandy beaches are backed by dunes, and picturesque small towns welcome visitors from all over the world.
