About This Adventure

City Lights Cruise

Unwind after a long day on land aboard a 1-hour City Lights Cruise on motor yacht Northern Lights. Bring a couple of friends or a loved one, grab a glass of bubbles from the bar, and gaze at the glittering lights of the city as light dances on the waters of Boston Harbor. Gentle and classic pre-recorded music is played to set a relaxing tone for you and your guests. In fact, this is the perfect digestif, a romantic after dinner cruise for 1st dates or 50th anniversaries.

Notable sites:

  • Cruise by the North End and catch a glimpse of the Old North Church made famous by the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere
  • Enjoy the buildings of Downtown Boston such as: the Custom House Tower, International Place, Independence Wharf, and the New England Aquarium.
  • Pass by the U.S.S. Constitution and hear how she got the nickname "Ironsides."
  • The Bunker Hill Monument, which sits behind the U.S.S Constitution.
  • Check out the colorful lights on the buildings in Boston’s Seaport District such as: the new Vertex Building, World Trade Center and the Institute of Contemporary Art.

There is no narration on this cruise. We intend for this cruise to be a more intimate and romantic trip. No kids tickets available on sunset or city lights cruises.

About Northern Lights

A Coast Guard Certified Captains and extremely friendly and knowledgeable crew who are trained to help in the event of an emergency operate Northern Lights. The motor yacht Northern Lights is stylized after the classic New England 1920s style steamships. She is one of the most comfortable and versatile cruise vessels in Boston Harbor. Northern Lights is 115-feet in length, features six bathrooms, and provides ample seating throughout the ship for up to 149 passengers. She is built for taking groups of people on spectacular sightseeing adventures. Thus, she is excellent for taking out groups of friends and family to see the harbor. Sit back and relax in our climate-controlled (heating and air conditioning) cabin or enjoy the sea breeze on our open top deck. Be sure to visit our fully stocked bar on the main deck to purchase refreshments.
