The Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, officially Flynn Cruiseport Boston, is the city’s primary cruise port, set on the South Boston waterfront along the Reserved Channel. Operated by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), it is one of the busier cruise terminals on the East Coast and serves major lines on New England, Canada, and transatlantic itineraries. The terminal sits just a couple of miles from downtown Boston.
For travelers it functions mainly as an embarkation and disembarkation point rather than a sightseeing destination, with check-in, baggage, and customs facilities for departing and arriving passengers. The surrounding Marine Industrial Park and Seaport District have grown into a lively waterfront area of restaurants and attractions. There is no T station directly at the terminal, so cruise passengers typically arrive by taxi, rideshare, or shuttle. Check the Massport Flynn Cruiseport website for current sailing schedules, parking, and directions before your trip.
