Great cruise- recommend!!!! - My daughter and I took the sunset cruise on board the Northern Lights on April 17, 2025. Captain Dante and his crew were very welcoming and professional. The boat itself was very well taken care of and very clean. Captain Dante’s narration was informative and interesting as we passed points of interest but allowed us to just enjoy the views without constant talking. Captain Dante pointed out a wild harbor seal which was neat to see as well as putting the Northern Lights close to the USS Constitution for its nightly sunset cannon salute. Being my daughter and I both work on the Adirondac, on Lake George in NY, which is the sister ship to the Northern Lights the trip was even more special. Thank you again for the hospitality Captain Dante and crew!!! I highly recommend the sunset cruise on the Northern Lights but also any cruise offered by the highly professional Classic Harbor Line-Boston!!! Captain Bob

Enjoyable Sunset Cruise - If you sit on the top deck, select a seat the faces into the docking area in order to get a better view but you obviously can get up and move about. Overall a lovely experience. Highly recommend.

Fun family time! - Beautiful and fun evening. Our family of 5, kids aged 10,15, and 17 all enjoyed the cruise. We spotted a few seals, too. The highlight was the cannon firing.

Great way to see Boston! - Great tour. Nice and relaxing. Great scenery. Little bit of history. Touring Boston keeps you busy and on your feet, this was a nice change of pace. Drinks available and light snacking for purchase.

Sunset in Boston Harbour - Thoroughly enjoyed the Sunset cruise. The timing of the boat's arrival for the gun and flag lowering on the USS Constitution was perfect. The commentary was great and the crew were fantastic
