Boston Cruise Port Parking

[vacation65]

Hi, we will be cruising on the Norwegian Gem out of Boston on July 5/24 and I have a question regarding parking. This will be our first time leaving from Boston and we have no idea where to park. Is there parking available at the cruise port. We like parking and just walking to the ship but I'm not sure if this is possible in Boston. I've been researching and the closest parking I found seems like you still have to rely on a shuttle to take you to the ship. Any help with this would be appreciated.

 

Thanks so much in advance.

The official port parking is offsite and provides a shuttle. There is a small parking lot at the pier that is not associated with the port. There is also a garage, but I'm not sure they want cruisers parking there due to the businesses in the area.

When I'm lucky enough to cruise out of San Francisco, I find that staying in a hotel on a park & fly package the night before is really stress-free.  Airport hotels are usually inexpensive, I have a leisurely morning and call a taxi to the port.

You haven't been to Boston then....  There are no park and cruise hotels near the port.

I stayed at a very nice Hilton at Logan last time I was in Boston.  I'm sorry that it's no longer there.

It's definitely still there, been there for decades.  It isn't a "park and cruise" hotel, though.  Occasionally they offer park and fly deals that are cheaper than Logan's parking but I haven't seen that offered in at least 10 years.   There are many hotels nearer the cruiseport than the airport ones, and there are many cheaper airport hotels with parking that might work for someone looking to put together their own Stay/park/cruise package

There is another post asking this question that has some good info. I just got the C1 lot for 15 days for $200 plus a $12 fee.
