Walk the Freedom Trail to view many highlights of Boston — the Massachusetts State House, Park Street Church, and the Granary Burying Ground, the final resting place of many famous Americans, including John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and Paul Revere.
Don't miss a view of America's first public school and the country's oldest continuously operating hotel. In the heart of Old Boston is the Old South Meeting House, where angry colonists met on the eve of the Boston Tea Party.
Travel back in time to Revolutionary Boston with a walk along the Freedom Trail. Your experienced guide will reveal the sites and scenes of critical events that paved the way for American Independence. Near the circle of stones in front of the Old State House, hear the story of the Boston Massacre — the first bloodshed of the Revolution.
Passing Faneuil Hall, continue to the North End, home of Paul Revere and Boston's oldest surviving residential neighborhood.
Visit the Old North Church, where Paul Revere ordered lanterns hung on the steeple to signal that the British Redcoats were on the move — "one if by land; two if by sea."
Time permitting, guests wishing to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so (morning tours only), but must make their own way back to the ship (approximately 30 minutes by taxi).
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. The walk covers approximately two miles. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations.
