In my ten years planning this event, City Experiences was not only the most seamless on the planning side - but the quality of the event was off the charts! I have never gotten so much positive feedback from my team on a holiday party. The food was fantastic and the service was perfection. Cannot recommend booking with them highly enough!

• jimrY3320BC 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles I wanted something uniue, upscale and special and they delivered. We booked a surprise birthday party for 39 people. Booking staff was excellent. Wait staff was excellent. Dj played music for a minute during dinner...very loud...not sure why. Food was pretty good. The night city skyline was great. It was a truly unique upscale event and everyone was blown away. Prices are kind of high per person. No discount for large group. But it was overall a great event for a real special occasion. Parking was a little weird but I don't think it's their fault. The parking validation was done on board before departure which simplified things. Greer was our waitress. Can't say enough about her. Jasmine was my booking point person. Very professional and accommodating. Well run venue. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to do something really unique and outside the box. Pricey but pretty cool. Jim Read more Written October 17, 2023
• Isabel089 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Comfortable, elegant and delicious cruise We were a family group of six and went on a Sunday afternoon with clear crisp autumn weather. We all really enjoyed our time. The spacious dining room was elegantly laid out with white tablecloths and attractive table settings; our server was friendly and efficient; the plentiful buffet offerings - which included both brunch and luncheon dishes - were delicious, as were the cocktails and mocktails. After our meal, we went to the outdoor decks and had wonderful views as we cruised around the harbor. It was an excellent treat, especially for two of our group who were visiting Boston from overseas. Yes, it was expensive - but for a special occasion with special people, it felt just right.

• HernOkies 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to start our visit in Boston We absolutely loved the dinner cruise on the Boston Harbor. Our server was excellent and the food was very good. However, our soup was barely warm but itvwas delicious. Cocktails were great and we enjoyed the live DJ's music 70's selections. Later a group of ladies hit the dance floor and the music changed more towards hip-hop so we went upstairs to the upper deck to see the harbor lights. It was not windy and we really enjoyed it. Something we didnt know and didnt see in the information about how to get to the departure point is that if you tell Uber to drop you to the Boston Harbor Hotel then you just walk between the Starbucks and the hotel right down to the wharf. There will be staff waiting with a passenger lust and will show you where to go. Also, the dress code said semi-formal but no one that I saw was dressed that way. Nice pants or skirt & blouse for ladies and slacks or nice jeans & shirt for the men was perfect. Take a jacket if youbwant to enjoy the upper deck. Read more Written September 26, 2023
• I3100PHjamesr 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Plan on eating elsewhere Overpriced experience and the food was absolutely not edible. Appetizers were not prepped properly and were frozen when served. The main course was even more disappointing and was cold when served with no taste. We didn’t even look for dessert after the food was taken away. Bring a jacket for dinner because the A/C was set to sub zero, and plan on going out for food after you dock. Enjoyed the Boston Harbor view but wished I saved the money. Definitely not worth it! Read more Written September 18, 2023

• hlsl1019 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles overall good I booked a lunch cruise on the boston elite for my wedding reception. the cruise itself - the captain , the staff - was absolutely amazing! The restaurant manager kiana (i think that was her name) was truly a gift as well as the server and bartender. The day went off perfectly. As for the coordination before … it was not as great. I had to reach out a month in advance to pay the bill and go over the details on my own. I was told the event coordinator would reach out 8 weeks in advance. Upon reaching out i was scheduled to talk to an event coordinator and we went through everything and i felt great about it! Until my questions and the promised email attachments were not sent or answered for 2/2.5 weeks. The week of my wedding reception i still had not gotten an answer. I had to email the senior coordinator who did what he could to help and after multiple attempts my assigned coordinator finally reached out. She did everything i asked at the last possible moment. I also was under the impression an event coordinator would be there as well.. no one showed up. So if you’re planning on doing any type of party here - just make sure you’re working with someone who answers (: Read more Written July 31, 2023

What People Are Saying

“Chartered one of this company’s boats for a rehearsal dinner before our son’s wedding and it could not have gone better. The crew was professional and friendly. The boat was clean and everything went off without a hitch. The route that the boat took through the Charles and into Boston harbor provided out guests with a truly memorable evening. People were able to mingle and take in all the sights and have plenty of room for dinner and drinks. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to host a similar event!”

Ten of the best small-ship cruises

Not a fan of mega-ships our cruise expert has picked the best boutique sailings to keep things exclusive and adventurous.

T here’s something special about small-ship cruising. You’ll feel a deeper connection to the sea, and there’s a certain pleasure from being docked in chic little ports among the superyachts or anchored in a remote bay far from the crowds. Of course, there won’t be Broadway shows and a choice of restaurants, but simplicity is all part of the appeal. Here are ten of the best small-ship cruises for this year and next.

This article contains affiliate links, which can earn us revenue

1. Authentic Caribbean

Explore some of the tiniest islands in the Caribbean on Ponant’s smallest ship: the swish, recently refurbished sailing yacht Le Ponant, which carries just 32 passengers. Sail from Marigot on St Martin to Prickly Pear Cays on Anguilla, St Barts, Nevis, Falmouth Bay on Antigua, Barbuda and the chic Îles des Saintes in Guadeloupe — in other words some of the most seductive islands in the region. On board you can expect the fine dining and service that comes from the ship’s partnership with Relais & Châteaux. Details Seven nights’ all-inclusive from £5,550pp, including excursions, departing on March 8, 2025 (uk.ponant.com). Fly to St Maarten and back from Guadeloupe

2. Croatia under sail

Explore Croatia in detail on the classic schooner Kairos, which sails out of medieval Trogir to Vis, Hvar and Korcula, as well as lesser-known islands and anchorages, depending on wind speed and direction. With just 16 passengers and seven crew on board, this is small-ship luxury at its best — and you don’t have to help to sail the boat unless you want to do so. When you’re at anchor, jump straight into the warm Adriatic. Evenings are spent either in lively towns or anchored in remote bays. Details Seven nights’ full board from £3,025pp, departing on August 10 (venturesailholidays.com). Fly to Split

3. Butlers in the Bahamas

This 12-night cruise zigzags from New York to Bermuda for an overnight stay, through the Bahamian islands of San Salvador, Exuma and Honeymoon Harbour on tiny Gun Cay, then on to Miami before ending back in Nassau. Expect luxury all the way, with a butler service, an open bar and helicopter trips, plus a submarine and water toys to play on when the ship’s marina platform is down, which is often. Scenic Eclipse carries just 228 passengers, with the vibe of a swish private yacht in its glossy lounges and smart, high-ceilinged cabins. Details Twelve nights’ all-inclusive from £6,914pp, including flights, private transfers, tips, wi-fi and excursions, departing on October 12 (scenic.co.uk)

4. turkey as you please.

Muster a group of 12 and you can charter a gulet for a blissful week exploring the Turquoise Coast of Turkey. Sailing from Bodrum, you’ll travel on the gleaming wooden Salamander, which comes with a crew of four, including a chef. Visit pretty fishing villages and drop anchor in pine-scented bays surrounded by green mountains for swimming off the boat, as well as playing on the water toys. On board are six en suite cabins and plenty of lounging space on deck, where you’ll also have meals. Details Seven nights’ full board (excluding two dinners) from £22,870 for 12, including transfers and house wine, departing on June 24 (salamandervoyages.com). Fly to Bodrum

5. New year in the Seychelles

Spend more than a week over the new year pottering around the dreamy Seychelles on Emerald Cruises’ sleek, 100-passenger Azzurra, visiting Praslin; rugged Curieuse, home to Aldabra giant tortoises; La Digue, location of the much-photographed Anse Source d’Argent beach; and Aride Island Nature Reserve, a breeding site for seabirds. You can snorkel and paddleboard off the back of the ship, which has a distinct superyacht feel thanks to an infinity pool and lovely alfresco dining area. Details Seven nights’ all-inclusive from £5,445pp, including flights, tips, wi-fi and some activities, departing on December 29 ( emeraldcruises.co.uk )

• Ten river cruises for adventurous travellers

6. Amazon adventure

Trace the northeast coastline of South America on a 19-night expedition on Swan Hellenic’s smart SH Vega, which carries 158 passengers. You’ll start in Barbados and head to Trinidad, but this is no ordinary Caribbean cruise — the next stop is Georgetown in Guyana, then it’s the volcanic Salvation Islands, a former penal colony off the coast of French Guiana now returned to nature.
