Guides

Getting to the ship in Boston

The schedule tells you when to sail. These guides cover the rest: getting to Flynn Cruiseport Boston, parking, the trip from Logan, hotels the night before, the documents to bring and where each route goes. Each one lists its sources and the date we last checked them.

Boston cruise port: where Flynn Cruiseport Boston is and how to get there

The cruise lines' own pages send you to 1 Black Falcon Avenue in South Boston, the Raymond L. Flynn Black Falcon Cruise Terminal, also called Flynn Cruiseport Boston. The Silver Line SL2 from South Station stops at Drydock Avenue and Black Falcon Avenue, and the lines put Logan Airport 2.8 to 4 miles away. Your cruise documents confirm the building and your arrival time.

Boston cruise parking: the Flynn Cruiseport lot, booking and shuttle

Cruise parking in Boston is a lot entered from 93 Fargo Street that you book ahead online, with a free shuttle to the terminal. SP+'s Parking.com showed $259.70 for the whole stay on a 14-night sailing when we checked on 3 November 2026. Older Royal Caribbean and Norwegian pages still quote daily rates for a garage across from the terminal, and they disagree with each other.
