Boston Cruise Port Parking and Logan Airport Distance

Where these numbers come from

Boston is unusual because the airport is almost next door. Logan Airport sits 3.6 miles from the Flynn Cruiseport, a 15 to 20 minute ride outside rush hour. A taxi is listed at about $20 to $25 one way, with no set flat fare. For most air travelers that makes parking unnecessary, and the taxi or rideshare math usually beats a week in a lot.

If you drive, the official choice is Massport Lot D3 on Summer Street. It costs $189 for a week of standard vehicles, sits 0.6 miles from the terminal and includes a free shuttle. You must book it online ahead of time. Two nearby private lots charge $25 a day, and the C1 lot offers a 7-day price of $175, which is $14 less than Massport's week.

Here is a worked comparison for a 7-night sailing. Massport is $189. The C1 lot is $175 for seven days. A 7-night trip that touches 8 calendar days in a per-day garage at $25 would be $200, so ask whether your lot bills by the calendar day or by 24-hour periods. The Marine Park Garage starts at $20 a day but has no shuttle, so the 0.1 mile walk with luggage is your transport.

Two fly-and-ride examples show how the choice swings. A couple flying in pays roughly $40 to $50 for taxis both ways at the $20 to $25 fare and skips parking completely. A family of five driving from Worcester pays $189 and avoids extra airfare. Either way, plan to reach the lot one to two hours before embarkation so the shuttle, security and check-in do not squeeze you.

The port hosts many lines, including Carnival, Celebrity, Cunard, Holland America, Norwegian, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Silversea, Viking and Windstar, with itineraries to Canada, New England, Bermuda and the Caribbean. The season runs from March to November, so winter parking questions rarely come up. Use the cruise parking calculator to compare driving against flying, and the cruise cost calculator for the whole trip.

For another Northeast option, compare Cape Liberty or Manhattan. Boston's weekly total is competitive with both, and its airport distance is the shortest of the three.
