About this guide

Who publishes this site, how the two cruises are compared, and where your booking happens.

Who is behind the site

This is an independent guide. It is not owned by or affiliated with City Cruises Boston, and it is not a booking engine. The site puts the two dinner products on the harbor, the Spirit of Boston buffet and the Odyssey plated dinner, side by side (see What is the best harbor cruise in Boston?). Booking happens on the live listing, not here.

How each cruise was verified

Each listing was checked against the operator's own product pages before appearing here.

Ratings and review countsCopied exactly as the listing displayed them at the time we checked. Where a figure could not be confirmed, we say "reviews on the listing" rather than printing an estimate.
PricesThe from-price shown at the time of reading, in USD. These move with your date, so every price on this site is a starting point and the live listing is the authority.
Durations, group sizes, operatorsStraight from the listing's own fields.
Season dates and departure pointsTaken from the operator's own site (cityexperiences.com) and cross-checked against each listing's own schedule fields: both cruises sail year-round, and departure points come from City Experiences' dock information for Rowes Wharf and Seaport, not a guess.
