Our second‑night cocktail reception on Thursday, October 1 will take place aboard the Spirit of Boston, a 192‑foot, four‑level dining vessel operated by Boston Harbor City Cruises. The evening begins with welcome drinks on board from 5:30–6:00 PM, followed by a harbor cruise from 6:00–7:30 PM featuring panoramic views of Boston’s waterfront along with appetizers and a buffet dinner.
When the ship returns to Commonwealth Pier at 7:30 PM, guests are welcome to either disembark or remain on board to continue enjoying the atmosphere while the vessel remains docked.
The full reception runs from 5:30–8:30 PM, and the Spirit of Boston is an easy 11‑minute walk (approximately 0.5 miles) from the Westin Boston Seaport.
The cruise departs from 200 Seaport Blvd. Commonwealth Pier (West Side) Boston, MA 02210. For taxi or rideshare directions, the boarding dock is directly across from Rosa Mexicano and adjacent to Saver restaurant.
