Cruiseport Boston finished the 2012 season with a record 380,054 cruise vacationers, a 23 percent spike over 2011, according to the Massachusetts Port Authority.
Fueling the surge was Carnival Cruise Lines' "Carnival Glory," which began cruising from Boston to Canada in June. With a dozen four-, five- and seven-day cruises from Cruiseport Boston to Canada in June and July, the ship contributed some 85,000 passengers to the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal's yearly count, Massport said.
This year, 117 cruise ships docked at Boston, a 9 percent increase over 2011 — 63 of which began and/or ended their cruise in the Hub. In addition to the cruise passengers, who came from the all over the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, more than 100,000 crew members visited Boston. The 54 other cruise ships stopped in Boston for a day or more to allow their passengers to tour the city and surrounding areas.
In addition to "Carnival Glory," Cruiseport Boston offered new choices for Canada and New England cruising, including Holland America's "Veendam," which offered seven-day sailings to Montreal as well as a repositioning cruise to South America via the Panama Canal. Three luxury lines — Compagnie du Ponant, Seabourn and Crystal Cruises — offered seven- and 10-day voyages to Canada and New England ports. "Norwegian Dawn," in addition to regular Bermuda cruises, sailed seven-day itineraries to Quebec, Massport said, adding that Canada and New England cruises more than doubled in 2012, growing by 119 percent.
During Hurricane Sandy, five ships destined for New York cruise terminals were diverted to Boston, during which time 9,000 passengers came to the Hub on the unscheduled ship visits, Massport said. Cruisers will also see more summer cruising options from Cruiseport Boston to Canada next year, the agency said.
