Princess Cruises’ Emerald Cruises is arriving at Flynn Cruiseport Boston on Sunday, July, 14, 2024. She will sail an inaugural season of 10 Canada & New England voyages ranging from 7- to 17-days between July 14 and October 7, 2024. Guests will enjoy the colors of fall, colonial history, lighthouses and the seafood in seaside villages.
Emerald Princess is even offering a bucket-list 17-day roundtrip “Greenland & Canada” voyage visiting “the world’s largest island.” The itinerary includes ports of call in Nuuk, Qaqortoq and Nonortalik, Greenland; Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia; and St. Anthony and St. John’s, Newfoundland.
“The debut of Emerald Princess for our maiden Boston season celebrates a convenient new home port for New Englanders and beyond to set sail on a premium cruise at an exceptional value, especially when compared to land-based vacations,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “Our presence also generates substantial revenue for local businesses from our guests and crew, as we’ll bring upwards of 30,000 cruisers to experience all that Boston has to offer.”
Besides the epic Greenland itinerary, Emerald Princess will sail four Canada & New England 7-day roundtrip voyages that visit Halifax, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island and Portland or Bar Harbor. She will also sail five Classic Canada & New England 10-day voyages between Boston and Quebec with ports of call in Portland, Saint John, Halifax, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island and Saguenay.
Lauren Gleason, Massachusetts Port Authority Interim Port Director & Chief Administrative Officer, said, “It is our longstanding partnerships with renowned cruise lines such as Princess Cruises that solidify our position as a premier east coast port and tourism destination. We wish Princess Cruises success as they expand their presence in the region with this inaugural homeport season offering sailings from July – October to Canada/New England. We appreciate Princess Cruises’ continued support as each Emerald Princess visit will provide substantial economic impact in both revenue and jobs throughout Massachusetts and New England.”
Emerald Princess is one of several cruise ships sailing from Boston this summer into the fall. She will be joined by ships from Royal Caribbean International, Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Oceania Cruises, Windstar Cruises and Celebrity Cruises.
