When you and the children need a break from your busy Boston itinerary you can combine sightseeing with relaxation on a Boston Harbor Cruise. There are five different cruises to choose from including the Historic Sightseeing Cruise which is fully narrated and will give the kids a great introduction to Boston’s history. If your children are old enough to stay up late you can take them on the Sea the Stars Cruise, presented in conjunction with the Museum of Science who will explain all about the planets, galaxies and constellations which make up the night sky. Other cruises include a Sunset Cruise, the USS Constitution Cruise (with optional tour of the famous USS Constitution) and Whale Watching cruises.
