The New England Aquarium partners with Boston Harbor City Cruises to give visitors front-row seats to view the ocean’s most fascinating and magnificent animals. All cruises leave conveniently from Central Wharf. Join us!

From April 1 through mid-May, we offer the New England Aquarium Ecoventure Cruise. Part wildlife observation opportunity and part marine life and ocean conservation educational experience, Ecoventure dives into Boston Harbor’s past and present and how it is tied to the Massachusetts Bay ecosystem. See the marine animals, shorebirds, and seabirds that live off Boston’s coast in spring. New England Aquarium naturalists will serve as your guides as you discover what these animals eat, where they live, and their places in the Massachusetts Bay ecosystem. Learn about conservation success stories like the population rebound of the once nearly extinct Atlantic harbor seal and the transformational clean-up of Boston Harbor. Save 10% off Aquarium tickets when you buy combination tickets to the Ecoventure and the Aquarium on the Boston Harbor City Cruises website.

From mid-May through November, New England Aquarium Whale Watches sail to Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, a rich feeding ground for whales, dolphins, sea birds and other marine creatures. Stellwagen is home to many species of large whales, including humpbacks, finbacks, and minkes, and the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. New England Aquarium naturalists will share knowledge, answer your questions, and explain the fascinating behaviors of these truly magnificent mammals.
