This was a wonderful afternoon cruise. Sailed with both my adult daughters. It was a long weekend get-away for us girls. So nice to have a laid back and relaxing time. Food was delicious and service was great. I would recommend this excursion.

Awesome experience

Tommasina_C, Aug 2024

It’s was awesome, food, service, atmosphere, great experience, although I was a little disappointed that the boat didn’t get to go around it stopped in the middle of the harbor

Calm and relaxing experience

Melinda_B, Aug 2024

It was my first experience on a cruise and it was great! It so relaxing. I can't wait to do it again and even bigger! The deck crew were all so professional, knowledgeable and kind. Bathrooms were so clean.

Great Experience

Tonya_G, Aug 2024

Boat was clean, bathrooms clean, staff was very nice and helpful, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Wish the cruise was at little longer.

Romantic & Informative Cruise to View Boston

Carly_H, Dec 2023

Chill Relaxing Time

kerry_h, Sep 2023

The brunch cruise was way better than I expected. The food was nice. The music selection was nice. Just an overall good time

Nice

Celinex_V, Sep 2023

Some of the food was cold, no bartender upstairs for drinks and no food intolerances options. At least almond or soy milk should be offered for coffee. Viator should provide gate information for the boat. Thank God for Google. I have done evening oddessy cruise and I prefer that one. It’s more romantic. The dj was awesome

It is an experience I...

Tamar_G, Jun 2023

It is an experience I would definately recommend. The staff was lovely. They were patient, my friend went to the wrong address and hence was late. They are very ontime. However, they made the exception and waitef 5_ 10 mins. Luckly she made it. The staff was courteous and friendly......... I recommend arriving 1 hour early to park, find the boat and relax.

Relaxing. Ok for once but probably won’t do it again.

Polly_m, Jun 2023

A group from Portugal that decided to sing continuously. It was lovely. Just visiting with our group. Our lovely weather. Food was mediocre and could have been much hotter. We expected a free mimosa from the video and pictures and all drinks were extra.

I may do it again!

Glenda_M, Oct 2022

Great views but don't expect great food.

Jose_F, Jul 2022

The ride on the Odyssey was great, the views were beautiful as well. The food was very much subpar, for the price I would have expected a bit better than a standard buffet.

After my reservations...

Jeannette_S, Sep 2021

After my reservations finally got straightened out, It was good. I originally was supposed to go on the dinner cruise but that had been canceled. The only opening for us to be available After the cancelation, was for the brunch cruise. I was a little disappointed. Would have preferred a sit down dinner. And it was actually more expensive than it was for the dinner cruise Which makes no sense because it Was more like breakfast. Other than that we had a good time And our waiter was Carlos was great

Highly recommend

Matthew_C, Sep 2021

My wife and I came up to Boston for our anniversary. Boston is our favorite city. The staff was so accommodating and welcoming. The food was good. The views of the city was amazing and we really enjoyed ourselves. The only thing I would suggest is to enforce masks more when guest are either away from there table our outside. Other than that, I highly recommend this for anyone!

Fantastic.

Pamela_N, Sep 2021

Odyssey the best

Lea_D, Aug 2021

All staffs are very nice, food are great, clean place, I will choose odyssey again for my brunch cruise.

Terrible. Inconsiderate

Sandra_A, Jul 2021

Are you kidding. Got to wharf two hours early only to get a text an hour ahead of time we were to board that the cruise was canceled. Spent $18 to park and all that time getting to Boston to have the second cruise canceled at the last moment. Never again.

Absolutely recommend

mmm819, Aug 2019

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this cruise. We booked the brunch cruise to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. The staff was very hospitable and helpful. The view was amazing. A special thanks to our waiter Higgins.He was extremely polite, knowledgeable and very friendly. He had other tables but never failed to make sure we didn't need anything. Made our visit much nicer.

Sunday Brunch Cruise

Jody_D, Aug 2019

Great time on the Harbor on a Sunday afternoon. Brunch buffet was served immediately as you board which was nice. We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my husband's birthday on the cruise!
