Background:

Flynn Cruiseport Boston, owned and operated by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), opened in 1986 and welcomed 13 cruise ships and a total of 11,723 passengers in its first season. In 2018, Flynn Cruiseport Boston welcomed 151 ships and set a new passenger record of 389,619, including maiden calls by MS Fram (Hurtigruten), Hebridean Sky (Noble Caledonia) and Celebrity Silhouette (Celebrity Cruises). In 2019, Flynn Cruiseport Boston expects to welcome over 400,000 passengers through a mix of 145 homeport and port of call ships.

2

Homeport itineraries include sailings to Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Canada/New England. Currently twenty-one (21) different cruise lines will call Flynn Cruiseport Boston during the 2019 cruise season, which runs from late March through mid-November.

According to a 2013 report by the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA): Massachusetts is one of the top ten states in the United States for economic impact from the

cruise industry. Cruise industry spending generates over 8,000 jobs and $479 million in income for Massachusetts

workers. This same report estimated that cruise industry direct spending in Massachusetts accounted for

more than $493 million, with passengers and crew spending $36 million in Boston alone in 2012.

In May 2017, Cruiseport Boston was re-named Flynn Cruiseport Boston to honor Ray Flynn, former Mayor of Boston, for his commitment to the South Boston Waterfront. The cruise terminal is one building with approximately 300,000 sf of space on three floors. In 2010, the main homeport terminal (Terminal 2) was expanded through an $11.5M project. As part of this project, the third floor was developed with approximately 83,000 sf of passenger reception, ticketing and boarding area with new bathroom and a VIP lounge. The lower level of the main terminal, measuring 19,000 sf, is used for custom inspection, baggage processing, restrooms and waiting area. The building mezzanine houses office and meeting space. In February 2015, renovations to the second terminal (Terminal 1) were completed. This terminal primarily services Port-of-Call vessels. The $3.2 million project included improved ventilation, heating, lighting, additional outlets for power and data to facilitate ticketing and baggage functions, new restrooms, and new storefront installations to provide more daylight into the existing space.

The cruise terminal can accommodate three large cruise vessels via. the Main Berth, Warehouse Berth and 88 Black Falcon Berth.

Royal Caribbean International’s Serenade of the Seas sails from Boston to ports up and down the Canada/New England coast in September and October as well as to Bermuda three times in 2019.

About 70 percent of travelers taking a Canada/New England cruise from Flynn Cruiseport Boston travel here by air, while approximately 95 percent who take a Bermuda cruise or a re-positioning cruise to the Caribbean live within a five-hour drive of Boston.

Flynn Cruiseport Boston is conveniently located 10 minutes away from Boston Logan International Airport via the Ted Williams Tunnel and 15 minutes by taxi or public transportation from Boston’s world-class shopping districts, sightseeing attractions and diverse restaurants.
