The biggest schedule
Every Norwegian Cruise Line Sailing From Boston in 2027
Norwegian Cruise Line has the largest 2027 Boston cruise schedule currently available. Norwegian Breakaway is scheduled to operate weekly seven-night round-trip cruises from April through October. Most spring and summer departures visit Bermuda, while late-August through mid-October sailings focus on Canada and New England.
Norwegian Breakaway: Bermuda Cruises

|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 18, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Bermuda | Boston |

| October 24, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Bermuda | Boston |
| October 31, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Bermuda | Boston |
Norwegian’s Bermuda itineraries generally include an extended stay at Royal Naval Dockyard. Some departures may also include an additional port, such as Halifax, depending on the specific sailing. Because the itinerary details are not identical on every date, travelers should compare the full port schedule rather than assuming every seven-night Bermuda cruise follows the same route. If you are weighing which of these dates to pick, my guide to the best time to cruise to Bermuda from Boston compares the water temperature month by month.
Norwegian Breakaway: Canada and New England Cruises
| Departure date | Length | Ship | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| August 29, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
| September 5, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
| September 12, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
| September 19, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
| September 26, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
| October 3, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
| October 10, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
| October 17, 2027 | 7 nights | Norwegian Breakaway | Canada & New England | Boston |
Ports vary by departure, but published itineraries include combinations of Portland, Eastport, Saint John, Halifax and Sydney. These cruises are especially popular during the fall foliage season. September and October sailings can sell quickly, particularly in balcony cabins and accommodations that hold three or four guests.
What Norwegian Breakaway Is Best For
Norwegian Breakaway is generally the best fit for travelers who want:
- A casual, flexible cruise experience
- Plenty of restaurants and entertainment
- A ship with activities for adults, teens and children
- A seven-night round-trip itinerary
- A cruise that does not require a flight
- More departure dates from which to choose
It is also one of the easiest Boston options for families and multigenerational groups because of the number of weekly sailings and variety of cabin categories.
Premium fall cruising
Every Celebrity Cruises Sailing From Boston in 2027
Celebrity Cruises has five currently published Boston departures in fall 2027. Celebrity Silhouette operates three 11-night round-trip Boston, Maine and Canada sailings in September, followed by a 10-night repositioning cruise to Fort Lauderdale in October. Celebrity Summit also departs Boston for Fort Lauderdale on a nine-night sailing later in October.
Celebrity Silhouette: Boston, Maine & Canada
| Departure date | Length | Ship | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 2, 2027 | 11 nights | Celebrity Silhouette | Boston, Maine & Canada | Boston |
| September 13, 2027 | 11 nights | Celebrity Silhouette | Boston, Maine & Canada | Boston |
| September 24, 2027 | 11 nights | Celebrity Silhouette | Boston, Maine & Canada | Boston |
These round-trip sailings are built around the fall Canada and New England season. Celebrity’s published itinerary includes ports such as Rockland, Halifax, Sydney, Quebec City, Charlottetown and Portland, with an overnight stay in Quebec City on the itinerary currently published by Celebrity.
Celebrity: Boston to Fort Lauderdale
| Departure date | Length | Ship | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 16, 2027 | 10 nights | Celebrity Silhouette | Boston to Fort Lauderdale via Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire | Fort Lauderdale |
| October 20, 2027 | 9 nights | Celebrity Summit | Boston to Fort Lauderdale via the Caribbean | Fort Lauderdale |
What Celebrity Is Best For
Celebrity is worth considering if you want:
- A more polished, adult-oriented large-ship experience
- A fall Canada and New England itinerary with more time than a typical seven-night cruise
- A round-trip Boston sailing aboard Celebrity Silhouette
- A one-way repositioning cruise that combines Boston with warmer-weather ports
- Strong dining, service and onboard spaces without the high-energy attractions of the largest family-focused ships
Celebrity is especially useful to have in the 2027 Boston mix because it adds both longer round-trip fall itineraries and unusual one-way options to Fort Lauderdale.
I sailed Celebrity Beyond twice, once as a couple and once with our teenagers. My honest take on Celebrity covers who the line suits and who I would point toward a different one.
Destination focused
Every Holland America Line Sailing From Boston in 2027
Holland America’s Boston schedule is much smaller than Norwegian’s, but its itineraries place more emphasis on the destination. These cruises are particularly appealing to travelers who want a quieter ship, a traditional cruise experience and more time exploring Canada and New England.
Volendam Departures
| Departure date | Length | Ship | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 19, 2027 | 7 nights | Volendam | Boston to Montreal | Montreal |
| June 19, 2027 | 14 nights | Volendam | Round-trip Canada and New England | Boston |
The 14-night voyage combines the Boston-to-Montreal sailing with the ship’s return journey to Boston. It is one physical departure from Boston, but it can be booked as either a seven-night one-way cruise or a longer round-trip itinerary.
Zuiderdam Departures
| Departure date | Length | Ship | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 4, 2027 | 7 nights | Zuiderdam | Boston to Quebec City | Quebec City |
| September 4, 2027 | 14 nights | Zuiderdam | Round-trip Canada and New England | Boston |
| September 18, 2027 | 7 nights | Zuiderdam | Round-trip Canada and New England | Boston |
| September 25, 2027 | 7 nights | Zuiderdam | Boston to Quebec City | Quebec City |
| September 25, 2027 | 14 nights | Zuiderdam | Round-trip Canada and New England | Boston |
| October 9, 2027 | 7 nights | Zuiderdam | Boston to Quebec City | Quebec City |
As with Volendam, some Holland America departures can be purchased either as a seven-night segment or as part of a longer combined itinerary. Ports vary by date and may include destinations such as Bar Harbor, Portland, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, Saguenay and Quebec City.
What Holland America Is Best For
Holland America is generally a good choice for travelers who prioritize:
- Destination-focused itineraries
- A quieter onboard atmosphere
- Traditional cruise service
- Live music and enrichment
- Scenic cruising
- One-way itineraries that include Montreal or Quebec City
These sailings tend to attract more adults than families with young children, although children are permitted onboard.
One October departure
Princess Cruises From Boston in 2027
Princess Cruises currently shows one 2027 cruise beginning in Boston: a 10-day Classic Canada & New England itinerary aboard Caribbean Princess on October 19.
| Departure date | Length | Ship | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| October 19, 2027 | 10 days | Caribbean Princess | Classic Canada & New England | Quebec City |
The published itinerary travels from Boston through Portland, Saint John, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown and Saguenay before ending in Quebec City. It gives travelers another longer fall option from Boston and is particularly relevant for anyone who wants to combine a New England and Canadian cruise with time in Quebec City after the sailing.
What Princess Is Best For
Caribbean Princess is worth comparing if you want a traditional premium cruise experience, a longer Canada and New England itinerary, and a one-way Boston-to-Quebec City route during the heart of the fall season.
Small-ship coastal
Every American Cruise Lines Sailing From Boston in 2027
American Cruise Lines operates small-ship coastal cruises rather than traditional large ocean cruises. Its ships generally carry roughly 90 to 130 guests and visit smaller New England ports that cannot accommodate ships the size of Norwegian Breakaway or Zuiderdam. The experience is quieter, more inclusive and considerably more expensive than a mainstream cruise.
Cape Codder Cruises
The Cape Codder is a round-trip Boston itinerary visiting coastal Massachusetts destinations. Depending on the departure, ports may include Gloucester, Plymouth, Martha’s Vineyard, Falmouth, New Bedford and Provincetown. Currently published 2027 departures include:
| Departure date | Published trip length | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 11, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
| May 18, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
| May 25, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
| July 30, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
| August 6, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
| August 13, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
| August 20, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
| August 27, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Cape Codder | Boston |
The July 30 departure is expected to be the inaugural cruise of American Navigator, a new Patriot-class coastal ship.
Grand New England Cruises
The Grand New England itinerary is a longer round-trip voyage from Boston. It combines ports along the Maine coast with destinations elsewhere in New England. Currently published Boston departures include:
| Departure date | Published trip length | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 4, 2027 | 16 days / 15 nights | Grand New England | Boston |
| August 14, 2027 | 15-night cruise-and-land program | Grand New England | Boston |
| August 28, 2027 | 15-night cruise-and-land program | Grand New England | Boston |
| September 11, 2027 | 15-night cruise-and-land program | Grand New England | Boston |
| September 25, 2027 | 15-night cruise-and-land program | Grand New England | Boston |
| October 9, 2027 | 15-night cruise-and-land program | Grand New England | Boston |
American Cruise Lines uses both cruise-only and cruise-and-land descriptions for these programs. Confirm the exact embarkation date, included hotel nights and number of nights aboard the ship before comparing one departure with another.
Northeast Harbors Cruise
| Departure date | Published trip length | Itinerary | Ends in |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 21, 2027 | 9 days / 8 nights | Boston to New York | New York City |
This one-way coastal itinerary connects Boston and New York while visiting smaller ports along the New England coast.
What American Cruise Lines Is Best For
American Cruise Lines is best suited to travelers who want:
- A small ship with fewer than 150 passengers
- Domestic coastal cruising
- Smaller ports and locally focused excursions
- A slower, quieter experience
- Spacious accommodations
- More inclusions than a typical mainstream cruise
- An itinerary that does not require international travel
It is not directly comparable to Norwegian, Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. The ships, pricing, onboard experience and target traveler are very different.

Which Boston Cruise Should You Choose?
The best cruise depends on much more than the departure date.
Norwegian Breakaway
You want a traditional large cruise ship with entertainment, multiple restaurants, nightlife, family activities and a relatively wide range of prices. Norwegian also gives you the most Boston departure dates to choose from.
See the Norwegian sailings →Celebrity Cruises
You want a more polished large-ship experience, strong dining and service, and a longer fall itinerary. Celebrity adds both round-trip Canada and New England cruises and one-way repositioning options to Fort Lauderdale.
See the Celebrity sailings →Holland America
You care more about the ports, scenery and onboard atmosphere than high-energy entertainment. Holland America’s one-way Quebec and Montreal itineraries are especially appealing when the journey itself is the priority.
See the Holland America sailings →Princess Cruises
You want a traditional premium cruise experience and a longer October itinerary ending in Quebec City. With only one currently published Boston departure, the date needs to fit your schedule.
See the Princess sailing →American Cruise Lines
You want a small, quiet ship and are willing to pay considerably more for a coastal experience with fewer passengers and more inclusions. This is the most specialized option and is generally best for travelers who already know they prefer small ships.

Planning a Cruise From Boston?
A long list of dates is helpful, but choosing the right sailing means looking at the ship, ports, time in each destination, cabin options and total vacation cost. As a Boston based travel advisor, I help clients compare the cruises leaving from Boston and narrow the choices to the two or three that genuinely fit their priorities. When you book with me, I also monitor eligible reservations for price drops and request a reprice when the cruise line’s rules allow it. You still receive the cruise line’s promotions and loyalty benefits, plus someone helping with the details before, during and after your trip.
