One of the most exciting days in any couple’s relationship is getting engaged, and once they do, celebrating the big news with an event to mark the occasion is definitely in order. Bringing friends and families together in a fun, festive way helps usher in the wedding experience in the best way possible. No average event will do, especially when you’re hosting an engagement party in Boston. To make the most of the city’s beautiful sights, booking a boat on the water is a no-brainer—yet not just any vessel will do. City Cruises is the ideal option for couples who want a unique and memorable choice, as we offer top-notch amenities and packages, stunning city views, and a seamless planning process from booking to boarding.
