Princess Cruises is offering Canada, New England and Greenland voyages onboard the Emerald Princess from its new homeport in Boston, beginning July 14 through October.
The 3,080-guest Emerald Princess will homeport out of Flynn Cruiseport Boston. The ship will sail ten Canada & New England cruises ranging from seven to 17 days in length. The Majestic Princess is also offering a selection of itineraries from Boston.
"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."
Sailings include the Classic Canada & New England itinerary, a ten-day voyage departing from Boston or Québec and visiting Portland, Saint John, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown and Saguenay.
One special 17-day itinerary brings travelers to three ports in Greenland. The Greenland & Canada voyage departs roundtrip from Boston and visits Sydney, Corner Brook, St. Anthony and St. John’s, as well as the Greenlandic ports of Nuuk, Qatortoq and Nanortalik.
"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," said Lauren Gleason, Massachusetts Port Authority Interim Port Director & Chief Administrative Officer. "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."
