    Itinerary

    Board the ship and allow the ship’s photographer to capture the moment, should the mood strike. The captain and crew will welcome you aboard. Then head off to a candlelit table for two — or more. Some of the ship’s cabaret-style seating encourages meeting and greeting new friends, so be sure to mix and mingle. Three climate-controlled interior decks with panoramic windows allow for a perfect view of the Boston skyline. And be sure to visit the captain’s bridge.

    It’s time for an elegant three-course dinner, complete with a tasting trio appetizer, entree and dessert, complemented by the excellent wine list.

    Great food and entertainment go hand-in-hand on this cruise, so take in the live performances and festive atmosphere during dinner. Then grab a refreshing cocktail at the floating rooftop lounge, head to the spacious observation deck for a moonlit stroll under the stars or hit the dance floor with one of the hottest interactive DJs in the city, spinning top-40 hits from a variety of genres.

    Notable attractions to see along the route include Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge, the historic USS Constitution and Boston’s thriving Seaport District.

    View was nice. very...

    Vince_C, Mar 2026
    View was nice. very short menu. Staff seemed very impatient. Food was okay. A lot of people were getting upset with the lack of service given to them. Besides the view it was okay I guess and I’d honestly like my money back. If I knew I was spending all that money for just a view of Boston I would’ve just hopped on the highway at night time and seen it there tbh. I’d recommend this experience if your at least 50+ maybe.

    It was nice and romantic....

    Leonel_C, Nov 2025
    It was nice and romantic. The food was very tasty. The second floor was cold but I liked that it had a heater. The view was beautiful too.

    Bring a sweater the top...

    Shannon_W, Jun 2025
    Bring a sweater the top outer deck can get a little breezy. The photos taken of you before getting on the boat are a little pricey but definitely well taken.

    Not as advertised

    Russ_S, May 2025
    Food was mediocre, advertised romantic candle lite dinner, we couldn’t do anything without a bunch of teenagers hollering and bumping into us. Far from PREMIURE experience. I spent almost as much for over priced drinks as I did the cruise. The whole experience was far from what was advertised.

    Kwame_D, Apr 2025
    Even though it was raining and cold the experience was great. Good food, fair music, nice selection of drinks. Our servers Carlos and Rory were also great and tended to any needs we had in a profession and upscale manner.

    The crew does nothing to stop guests from cigarette smoking. I was siting outside on the upper deck when multiple individuals continue to smoke cigarettes with no regards to the others around them. It ruined my experience. I left smelling like cigarette smoke.

    The most memorable. Time for me. Is to see my wife face. She was surprised and she loved it. All the stuff was so nice andcourageous And the food is delicious.

    Great dinner cruise....

    Pam_C, Sep 2024
    Great dinner cruise. Excellent service. Jen B. was our server and Sara? was the manager that night. Both were extremely friendly and pleasant. We would definitely recommend this cruise!

    Fun time, horrible food

    Cynthia_I, Sep 2024
    We recently took an Odyssey cruise with a group of four and, while the company and overall experience were enjoyable, the food unfortunately did not live up to expectations. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we had a lot of fun dancing—thanks to a great DJ—and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The drinks were well-made, adding to the festive vibe of the night. However, when it came to the food, we were quite disappointed, especially given the price point. We tried a variety of dishes: gnocchi, salmon, chicken, and steak. Sadly, each entrée missed the mark. The steak was overcooked, the chicken was dry and tasted like cardboard, and the gnocchi was underwhelming. Even the appetizers were subpar—the grilled peach in the salad tasted like it came from a can, and the charcuterie board was unimpressive. For dessert, we had high hopes, but they, too, failed to impress. Despite the enjoyable atmosphere, I wouldn’t recommend the experience for the food alone, and I likely wouldn’t do it again. While we had fun dancing and the staff was wonderful, the meal did not justify the price.

    Boston Harbor Dinner cruise

    Vivian_B, Sep 2024
    Nice evening dinner cruise with a beautiful ambiance that was intimate and elegant. The service was very attentive also

    Lovely moment

    Karine_T, Sep 2024
    It was amazing to be there with my family ;also the place was vey nice and the service was very good . I really enjoyed that moment.

    Nice elegant experience

    Caroline_B, Sep 2024
    We loved the experience. It was too chilly on the deck of the yacht, so we mostly stayed inside. The owners might consider warming lights on the deck? The food was food and the wait staff were so attentive and friendly, out server was Patrick. He was great! Would recommend to others!

    Tempted to serve myself

    JudyM, Sep 2024
    We waited too long for our food. It arrived at a serving station but sat for quite awhile before it was served. I would rather order my food when I'm booking my reservation rather than when I arrive. Many people were frustrated. Also waited too long for our drinks to be served. There were quick with the bill

    Great experience

    Tracy_R, Sep 2024
    Brought my brother and family from the UK for this Boston experience it was excellent. Dancing great . Relaxing atmosphere. Service was outstanding. Boat windows could use a clean but otherwise overall excellent

    Smooth wave

    PIERRE_D, Sep 2024
    First time in a dinner cruise as a family. The weather was great and the cruise was very smooth. Staff was great

    Food not up to mark

    Naveen_K, Sep 2024
    The cruise was good and the ship great. The food however was disappointing. We were three and tried most of the dishes. Everything was average at the best.

    Motel 6 & Western Sizzlin of Dinner Cruises

    Rodney_T, Sep 2024
    We was sat by a window that was all distorted to where you could not clearly see through the window. When asked to be relocated to another table setting, it was a hassle and they told us no. They eventually sat us at another table setting. The hostess had a very unfriendly personality which was confusing considering her position is revolved around hospitality. The food was absolutely gross and served cold. Nothing was even warm. Drinks were way overpriced. The vessel appeared very old and outdated. I can best express the dinner cruise to be similar to a stay at a Motel 6. I was thinking of a higher end dinner cruise but sadly discovered within the first 2 minutes that it was like eating at a rundown Western Sizzlin waiting to go out of business.

    It was a nice evening

    Donna_G, Sep 2024
    We enjoyed the atmosphere and talking to other guests. Very clean restrooms and the weather was fantastic (although you can’t take credit for the weather!). Music and dancing was also fun! We were disappointed with the service. We had to ask several times for another glass of wine, more bread…and as we were close to docking, we still had not been served our dessert.

    The service was good and friendly staff. The food was terrible. Take one of the sunset cruises and grab dinner afterwards. So much good food in Boston, it was very disappointing in the quality of food.

    Karmen_T, Aug 2024
    Awful.... my Uber was in traffic. Got there at 6:05 and the boat was pulling off! Im very frustrated that 5 min made me waste $400.00. It waay husband birthday so it was a total disaster for us!

    Celebration Cruise

    Sharon_D, Aug 2024
    The Odyssey staff were very courteous, professional, attentive and provided great customer service. The food was delicious!!! This cruise made our friends birthday celebration an exciting memory.

    91st Birthday Celebration

    Gerard_D, Aug 2024
    Celebrated my Mom’s 91st Birthday with family and friends. It was a beautiful evening weather wise and Erin our waitress was awesome. She tracked us down on the observation deck to take our orders and arrange a birthday cake for our guest of honor. The only drawback was our meal. It is hard to do salmon badly but for two dishes, it was tough and dry. With the exception of this small distraction it was an awesome experience! Do it, you won’t be disappointed!

    Amazing experience

    Hana_L, Jul 2024
    Awesome service, delicious food, wonderful views! The DJ inside played great music. The only thing we didn't like was the live performer, who probably shouldn't quit his day job. Would have liked some jazz or just a better singer.

    Worst food ever

    Zakaria_B, Jul 2024
    First, the food was extremely terrible. Thank god the portions were extremely small however way too small for a human. it was all old, and you are unable to taste any flavors. My whole family did not eat the food as it was inedible. I never tasted food as bad as this. And I will never come on this trip ever again.
