Boston Harbor Cruise Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary & Maggiano's Lunch - SOLD OUT

Tuesday - Jul 14, 2026

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding in 1776 - the United States of America's Semi quincentennial. For this milestone occasion, a fleet of the world's most magnificent international ships and military ships, in an epic peacetime gathering, will gather in the port of Boston. Our day in Boston will include a wonderful opportunity for up-close views of this amazing gathering of ships aboard a narrated cruise in Boston Harbor. We'll board Charles Riverboat's Lexington - a 2 level paddle wheeler departing from Rowe's Wharf in Boston Harbor. Enjoy an afternoon three-course family-style Italian lunch at Maggiano's Little Italy - everyone's favorite!
