Check Klook availability

If you're driving to Flynn Cruiseport, parking is usually your biggest pre-cruise decision. There are three main options, and the right one depends on how much you value being close to the terminal versus saving money, plus whether you're comfortable booking online in advance.

The three options

Massport's official cruise parking sits at 93 Fargo Street, about a 0.4-mile walk from the terminal, with a complimentary shuttle running roughly every 10-15 minutes — it's the only lot directly affiliated with the port, but it must be reserved in advance through Parking.com. Independent garages, like the Flynn Marine Park Garage on Drydock Avenue about 0.2 miles from the terminal, are close enough to walk and often run cheaper per day, though they're a separate booking from Massport's own system. Hotel park-and-cruise packages at Seaport-area hotels bundle a pre-cruise night with parking for your sailing and shuttle transport, which can simplify a day-before arrival.

Boston specifics

Massport sells its official lot exclusively online, not at the gate, so plan ahead — it can sell out on busy sailing dates. Because the lot is a shuttle transfer rather than curbside, and Massport recommends arriving at least two hours before departure, build the walk and shuttle wait into your morning rather than cutting it close.

Rates vary by cruise length, season, and operator, so we don't publish live prices here — check the current price directly with Massport or the independent lot before you book.
