City Cruises - Boston

re so accommodating and kind with me, providing check ins and chatting with us whenever I had questions. We chose to get our meals and DJ through their wedding service and are so happy we did. Our guests told us that the Odyssey provided the best service and wedding meals some of them have ever had. We also chose to have our ceremony on the boat and the staff did an AMAZING job. We were supposed to get married on the rooftop but it had started to rain around 20 minutes before the ceremony time. The staff were incredible and moved our ceremony inside and I am so happy they did. The staff on board are truly what made our experience ten times better. I was an anxious bride on our wedding day and they all were so kind and amazing. Our wedding planners Georgia and Kat stayed with us all day and they went above and beyond in helping us, even helping me carry my dress up and down the stairs before the ceremony :) They were constantly making sure we were comfortable and that our wants/needs were being met. Also, BLESS the boat crew as they were so patient with us. I was so excited to meet the captain (Captain Declan) and he was so kind and entertaining. Our wedding through City Cruises was the absolute dream. Our guests have told us how much fun they had celebrating or big night while watching the beautiful views of the Boston Harbor. We cannot recommend City Cruises Boston enough and wish we could do the night all over again:)

US, so I was able to skimp out on my floral budget. All my guests commented on how cool it was to have a wedding on a boat, and the waitstaff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The only negative was that they will nickel and dime you for everything. I signed my contract in early 2021 and there were a few instances where they tried to add fees they introduced in 2022, so read your contracts!!

better. We loved the views from this unique venue (especially from the top deck!) and loved how it showcased our love for all things nautical. The captain joined us and celebrated with us which made our night even more magical and it we felt so special! The entire crew was 10/10 accommodating and wonderful; especially for our handicapped guests who needed wheelchair assistance! Our head waiter Carlos is a true gem was absolutely great. I can’t say enough great things about our wedding reception! The entire event was beautiful from start to finish. We were only sad when it was over! We will be back to utilize this venue again for another event! Thank you so much!

wish I didn’t trust them with our big day. Stay away!

ever worked with, she was genuinely caring to ensure our dream details were accounted for. I wish I could give Aria and City Cruises 10 stars!

experience and it was a great way to view the beautiful Boston harbor and skyline for our guests that were visiting Boston for the first time! Aria was our coordinator and did a great job answering all of our questions and helping bring our wedding day to life without a hitch! We had the top shelf liquor package and also added the meat carving station, both of which were a huge hit for our guests. The boat, both inside and outside resulted in some amazing pictures and I especially loved all the pictures from the upstairs down onto the dance floor! An added bonus is that the Spirit of Boston was much more reasonably priced relative to a lot of the other hotels and venues in the central Boston and Boston harbor area. We would highly recommend booking the spirit of Boston for anyone looking for a wedding or party venue! It’s a great venue for those that love water/boats, want to have beautiful views of Boston, and want to provide a unique and fun experience! Our wedding guests are still raving about it months later!

questions or concerns we had, and helped us get through the very stressful time of planning a reception during covid. Thank you Meghan! As we got closer to our wedding, we worked with Aria who was also our coordinator on the day of the reception. Aria was wonderful- she was always available for questions and made time for us no matter what. She was so helpful with turning our vision into a reality and extremely organized. She seriously made all of the prep a breeze! On our actual reception day, she took care of every little detail so that we could just focus on enjoying the day. It was amazing to know we could rely and count on Aria to take care of the details and keep to our schedule for when big things happened like the introductions, cake cutting, etc. The boat itself is beautiful- myself and all of my guests loved how there were 3 different levels that they could go on. The bottom level was used for dinner/cake cutting, middle level was bar/dancing with a beautiful outdoor space with high tables and seating, and the top level was the roof deck and also had more seating and space to move around (and enjoy the gorgeous sunset!). We all loved being able to move around and go to those different spaces! I also appreciated the bridal suite that was available. The team did an incredible job setting up our tables/centerpieces and other decorations. Everything looked STUNNING! The other important thing was the food- the food was SO good! There isn’t one thing we would change - it was delicious (including appetizers!) and everyone was so happy about it. The whole reception was so fun and the views were gorgeous. I truly feel that the team on the Seaport Elite went above and beyond so thank you to Aria, Meghan, and the entire crew for everything they did to make our day special. If you’re looking for a reception venue that is special with incredible views of the city, amazing food, and a team that will make sure you’re taken care of, look no further!

mily or myself. It felt like Margaret was part of the family. Her and the spirit boat team were truly AEWSOME. The day of the wedding, they all made sure that my guest, my husband and I were all taken care of. THANK YOU Margaret and all of spirit boat employee!!! Love Mrs. Rivera

multiple guests tell us that it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever attended. It was a unique experience for them to experience the cruise ship and it was such an amazing party! The food was incredible – we have received so many compliments. The space was immaculate, decorated beautifully, and crew was so attentive to every need (no matter how small). They went above and beyond to treat each of our guests like VIPs! Every crew member was so excited and happy to be a part of the night. We stepped on board that night and everything was set up perfectly and looked like it was out of a wedding magazine! During the event our coordinator and the crew kept the night organized and moving and made it a night to remember for everyone, especially for us!! Our wedding coordinator Margaret is truly a Rockstar! There were no hassles here at all! During the planning process she was organized, detailed, creative, thoughtful, accommodating and helped us create an experience that was far beyond anything I could have dreamed of! She always took the time to touch base via email and on the phone, and worked with us every step of the way. Every time we spoke or met I was totally confident in the process and just so excited for our big day! She was personally so dedicated and made sure that every minor detail was exactly as we discussed and was perfect!! We 110% recommend having a reception onboard the Odyssey!

tations. The team prepared fantastic food, and all the logistic for my big day went through without inconveniences. Margaret always answer all my questions without hesitation she was awesome. Thank you!

n't go wrong choosing the Odyssey for your wedding.

ept us informed. I would definitely recommend to anyone!!! :)

ad our own dedicated planner that laid everything out for us.

magical night. The whole boat crew went above and beyond to take care of all our guests. Our guest were never seen without a drink in hand because the crew were always making sure everyone was taken care. They treated all our 200 guests like royalty, and me and my husband like queen and king. Scott was in charged of us and he made sure our food and drink needs were well taken care (we actually got to eat at the delicious dinner thanks to Scott!). They did exactly the same with all our guests. The food was to die for! The Chef is amazing! People kept raving about our wedding dinner and seafood raw bar at the cocktail hour for weeks (get the raw bar if you really want to impress your guests). The boat was exquisitely decorated and the night went flawlessly thanks to our fantastic coordinator Margaret who took care of all the details before, during, and after our wedding. I was very impressed with Margaret's work ethic, she did so much for us and made the whole wedding journey a breeze. Our dj "DJ Big" put out the most amazing party at the boat. Right on with the music DJ Big! I can go on and on raving about my wedding at the Odyssey. I can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did making our wedding the most magical perfect evening. The Odyssey is the way to go when it comes to doing a wedding in Boston. Hands down!

d Margaret S. As our event coordinator and she was so awesome and was so helpful she took care of everything! Our Dj was Sean . I loved him he’s such an awesome person , and great DJ ! All of the staff on the boat that night were so amazing. My guest had such a great time , I’m still hearing from people about how awesome the staff was ! All of them ! I couldn’t be more pleased and amazed by our entire wedding experience!! Thank you so much ❤️💍

erful the food was. The DJ was great and had everyone up and dancing the entire night. The staff was even up dancing at the end of the night! I can’t say thank enough. It was everything we wanted and more.

ainment Cruises! Early on in the planning process we worked with Meghan. She was very informative while helping us tailor our wedding package to fit exactly what were looking for. She worked to accommodate all of suggestions and did not disappoint. Our Wedding Coordinator, Margaret, was truly amazing every step of the way as well. Planning the ceremony and reception was stress free with Margaret guiding us through the process. All we had to do was make our various selections (cocktail hour, hors d'oeuvres, dinner, cake, etc.) and she made it all happen. She was very responsive and always available via phone and in person to answer questions or make last minute adjustments. Margaret also served as the point of contact for all of our vendors, coordinating deliveries, etc., which contributed to a stress free wedding day. Additionally, all the staff aboard The Odyssey were so professional and attentive throughout the evening. This amazing team made sure we had nothing to worry about except having fun and enjoying the party!

ere detailed, so friendly and fun! So many guests told us this was the best wedding they had gone to and that it was so personal, unique, and a such great time! I was amazed, compared to other typical venues that the Odyssey's one stop price with a 4 hour cruise was so reasonable! The end result was so amazing! We would highly recommend Margaret, her crew and the Odyssey cruise for a wedding there!

e wedding of our dreams. Our account manager, Meghan, went through every detail of our contract and patiently worked with us to accommodate our extended time frame, changes in packages and guest counts. Our wedding coordinator, Margaret, was a godsend throughout the planning process and met with us twice in person and as frequently as we needed to over the phone. She did everything she could to accommodate our Polish wedding traditions and was with us the entire ceremony and reception to guarantee our vision went exactly as we had discussed in our planning meetings. Margaret and the crew of the Odyssey integrated with our wedding guests and completed our intimate wedding - they were truly a part of the day and we loved that they joined in on the dancing and joking around with our guests. The servers and bartender never left a guest waiting and remembered everyone's orders throughout the night. Our guests could not stop raving about the service, weeks after the reception! The venue speaks for itself - what could be more perfect than an evening cruise overlooking the Boston skyline. The Admiral's Lounge was modern, elegant, and the perfect size for our 50 guests - at a fraction of the cost of surrounding venues. If you are looking for a unique, elegant event in Boston, there is simply no better option. Thank you Odyssey Cruises for giving us the wedding of our dreams!!

Odyssey!

event planner were more than helpful. The entire event was flawless, and the attention to detail was enough to please even the pickiest of brides. 10 out of 10. Everyone I invited was impressed, and my bride and I were too.

emailed her 1000 times and she always got back to me immediately. She made sure everything was just how I wanted and I couldn’t have survived the planning process or the day without her. The waitstaff and bartenders were amazing as well, one bartender was the funniest girl I have ever met, all my guests loved her!

n place for our special day. We went with the buffet option and were thoughtful enough aside both some of the hor d'oeuvres, but the lunch as well. Everyone is still talking about how much fun it was, and how good of a time they had.

ur guests have still not stopped raving about the unique venue choice which makes us so happy. One of the best things on our end was that everything from Cake to music to food was taken care of and we didn't have to worry about a thing. This allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding day! Both Nicole and Sam were incredible and answered any question, silly or challenging, along the way. They were very responsive and helpful. We feel really lucky to have chosen The Odyssey because our wedding is so memorable for both our guests and for us. Just an overall 5 star experience!
