Why You'll Love an Odyssey Cruise

                  ~ Sophie and Jean-Luc, visitors from France

View from observation deck of Odyssey cruise ship leaving Boston Harbor

Not only do you get an outstanding 2- or 3-hour Boston Harbor sightseeing tour, but you'll also enjoy an excellent dinner - all for about the same price you'd pay for a meal in a nice restaurant. 

It's a sweet deal - you're basically getting the cruise for free.

Like her sister ship Spirit of Boston , Odyssey offers a variety of evening cruises, as well as brunch or lunch cruises on most days. 

Because all dining areas are enclosed and climate-controlled, Odyssey (and Spirit of Boston ) operates year-round, summer and winter.  

Around major holidays such as Valentine's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, look for festive holiday cruises, as well as special occasion and theme cruises at other times of the year.

Odyssey's Boston Harbor Tour Route

Photo of View from Odyssey

Although Odyssey's exact route will vary based on the length of the tour as well as Harbor traffic conditions, you'll typically cruise along the Boston shoreline  past the North End, Charlestown, the South Boston Waterfront and Castle Island.

At this point, you'll begin to notice individual islands.  You'll typically pass by Georges Island and Little Brewster Island, home to Boston Light, one of the country's oldest lighthouses.

Wait staff was excellent. Dj played music for a minute during dinner...very loud...not sure why. Food was pretty good. The night city skyline was great. It was a truly unique upscale event and everyone was blown away. Prices are kind of high per person. No discount for large group. But it was overall a great event for a real special occasion. Parking was a little weird but I don't think it's their fault. The parking validation was done on board before departure which simplified things. Greer was our waitress. Can't say enough about her. Jasmine was my booking point person. Very professional and accommodating. Well run venue. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to do something really unique and outside the box. Pricey but pretty cool. Jim Read more Written 17 October 2023
  • Isabel089 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Comfortable, elegant and delicious cruise We were a family group of six and went on a Sunday afternoon with clear crisp autumn weather. We all really enjoyed our time. The spacious dining room was elegantly laid out with white tablecloths and attractive table settings; our server was friendly and efficient; the plentiful buffet offerings - which included both brunch and luncheon dishes - were delicious, as were the cocktails and mocktails. After our meal, we went to the outdoor decks and had wonderful views as we cruised around the harbor. It was an excellent treat, especially for two of our group who were visiting Boston from overseas. Yes, it was expensive - but for a special occasion with special people, it felt just right.

  • HernOkies 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to start our visit in Boston We absolutely loved the dinner cruise on the Boston Harbor. Our server was excellent and the food was very good. However, our soup was barely warm but itvwas delicious. Cocktails were great and we enjoyed the live DJ's music 70's selections. Later a group of ladies hit the dance floor and the music changed more towards hip-hop so we went upstairs to the upper deck to see the harbor lights. It was not windy and we really enjoyed it. Something we didnt know and didnt see in the information about how to get to the departure point is that if you tell Uber to drop you to the Boston Harbor Hotel then you just walk between the Starbucks and the hotel right down to the wharf. There will be staff waiting with a passenger lust and will show you where to go. Also, the dress code said semi-formal but no one that I saw was dressed that way. Nice pants or skirt & blouse for ladies and slacks or nice jeans & shirt for the men was perfect. Take a jacket if youbwant to enjoy the upper deck. Read more Written 26 September 2023

Appetizers were not prepped properly and were frozen when served. The main course was even more disappointing and was cold when served with no taste. We didn’t even look for dessert after the food was taken away. Bring a jacket for dinner because the A/C was set to sub zero, and plan on going out for food after you dock.

My wife and I took the Odyssey's Thanksgiving lunch cruise to do something different this holiday. Overall, it was a great trip and well worth it. For starters, I upgraded my experience and paid for priority boarding and a window seat. It would have been ideal for them to have a priority boarding section. Instead I walked to the front of the line and ask the staff member how I should board and he said to just wait there. It felt a bit weird making it look as if I was simply cutting in front of everyone else who had been waiting in the cold for a long time. But honestly, I didn't feel too bad because, heck, they could have paid for the privilege too! Once onboard, the yacht was nicely decorated and having the window seat was worth it for the views. They put tables a bit too closely together for my liking, but it didn't make a major negative to the overall experience: The crew were all very nice and the service was pretty good. The drinks were delicious, from the after hour coffee and whiskey beverages to their spin on the old fashioned (added kola sugar and rum for a Caribbean themed variation). The crab and shrimp dip I ordered was also fantastic and I wished they provided extra bread or perhaps some chips to go with all the leftover dip in the bowl. I got champagne too as a part of a romance package, and that too was very nice. As for the thanksgiving buffet? Meh. The stuffing was bad, the macaroni and cheese was okay, the turkey was fairly good albeit a tad dry, and the salmon was solid. And when you were finished with the mediocre-at-best meal, there was time to take in some line dancing with the live DJ. Overall I really enjoyed it and will take another cruise with them some day. I just will temper my expectations relative to the meal!

Went for a birthday celebration. We had a couple of young kids with food allergies. Had filled out forms and communicated 3 times before the dinner cruise with Odyssey and no one had a clue regarding food allergies after we boarded. When I talked to our server about it, his eyes just glazed over. Didn't even understand the difference of vegetarian vs vegan. Ended up just giving us plain food since nothing was planned ahead. For the ticket price of plated dinner, you would think they would try a bit harder. Enjoyed the dance floor. Clam chower was well done. Dessert was put out for grabs but no notice on that or when they cleared all the food. Overall I am very disappointed for such lack of service. If they can't properly accommodate for allergies then their suggestion should have been we can't accommodate and come at your own risk. Instead they pretended to care and accommodate but the harsh reality was that they didn't care but wanted to make a sale. I dont normally write reviews like this but was utterly disappointed.

I had an amazing time on this cruise! The dinner buffet was delicious with lots of options, I was pleasantly surprised by how much food there actually was. The boat ride itself was steady (not too much swooshing to trigger sea sickness) and the view was gorgeous. The staff and bartenders were so nice and fun, and I liked how they joked around. Next time I go I'm going to bring my bf for a cute date night!

Buffet

We did the Boston: Harbor Sunset Yacht Cruise and it was a lot of fun! City views were gorgeous and even though we couldn't see the sunset through the clouds it was still very enjoyable. It did seem like whoever was playing music may have been going through a break up though. Playing music like "All By Myself" and "Sad Eyes".

Went on an Odyssey cruise with a party of 6 people last night celebrating a special occasion . The waitress was nice and pleasant but the dinner service itself was mistimed . They brought out dinner rolls after the meal was done . The meal itself steak was average , nothing remarkable about the food . The views are nice and there are a lot of great picture moments . They ask for song recommendations for music and we provided some , but our cruise had two bachelorette parties and the music was 2-3 hours of loud Latin Rap music with little variety from the DJ . To top it off there was a woman who was clearly over served who was passed out and had to be wheeled out by staff in a wheelchair. I wouldn't recommend based on our cruise, if you're trying to celebrate a special occasion .

If I could give them a minus star or no start at all then I would do it. I have to mention that I have taken the Spirit Cruise, and the Odyssey before when the owner was different and that was a different level of service. The new owner has hired people from the street with no training at all. We took the Mother's Day cruise and my husband paid $650.00 usd and this was not cheap at all. If it were $20.00 per person well... you would let it pass but no. I think you can't charge a family that amount of money to get this: 1)DJ's - Please get new people. They are boring and they don't know how to select music. 2)Food - You cannot charge a family $650 usd to tell them that you ran out of items for dinner and there isn't beef, no desserts Who on earth told you guys that you put fish on top of corn? This is not a Mexican dish. You can't offer just dry fish over corn and and chicken with apricot marmalade on it. The desserts are also like .. brownies. are you kidding me ... the scout girls do better cookies. For the money I think that if you buy the cakes from chinatown they wold be unexpensive and it would be meeting the expectations. 3) Server. - My server was a woman with short hair and glasses, and she came with bread and she was looking at me with rolling eyes because I asked for 2 pieces of bread. OMG.... I think you need training.

The ship I was on was the Odyssey Dirty plates! Went for a lunch cruise event with my school and the thing that ruined it was the dirty plates. I picked up a plate for the buffet and it was dirty, when I picked up a plate for desert it was dirty. The dj was mid. The remixes they were playing got rid of the drops a lot. It was bummer. The Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were good and so were the brownies. The views of Boston were cool too.

A friend and I bought a sunset cruise ticket via Goldstar and it was absolutely STUNNING. 11/10 would recommend. I love sunsets, Boston, the seaport/water in general, good photo opportunities, great weather and a summer night is perfect for this. I recommend going when it's not crazy hot out like 90 degrees haha but being near the water is lovely b/c you can feel the breeze and it's slightly cooler. The sunset part is stunning, you get the best views from the cruise and a lot of photo opportunities. My friend and I were so excited for this haha we got tons of great photos out. FYI there is an open bar on board (cash only) if you're interested.

Thanksgiving on the Boston Odyssey. Had a wonderful time. Great way to spend the holiday. Buffet was wonderful with plenty of options and found the food quite tasty. Loved the dessert area and free warm apple cider. Service was great. Hint, no need to pay for upgrades. Boarded quickly (2nd) and got assigned window seat for no extra $$. Beautiful day and would definitely do it again.

Do not waste your time or money on this shitshow. Their website says that Wednesday tours on Odyssey are three hours with an extended menu. We paid extra for the beef option on a three hour tour. We get there, and it's two hours, and a me u so condensed, I can't eat anything on it. Then they tell me they have steak. Later, after I already paid an upcharge, they charge me extra again for the steak. Add to this that twice while clearing the table, food was taken away while I was still eating it, and consequently got dumped in my lap. No one apologized or made it right. This place sucks, the food is subpar, and the service is horrendous. Simple don't go. You'll have more fun at a bar than you will to float up the harbor, turn around and come back. I will tell everyone to avoid this shit like it's the plague. Seriously, refunding me ALL of my money wouldn't even start to make things right.
