Veterans Cruise

Enjoy a cruise to Peddocks Island, followed by guided tours of historic Fort Andrews, reflections on service, and fun self-guided activities for all ages.

Light snacks and warm beverages will also be provided, but we encourage visitors to plan accordingly by either bringing lunch from home or purchasing food aboard the ferry.

Ferry Information & Directions: The ferry departs Long Wharf at 11:00am (arrive no later than 10:30am). Gate information will be provided via email at least 1 day before the event.

• Taking public transportation or biking is highly recommended. The closest T stations to Long Wharf are Aquarium on the Blue Line, State Street on the Orange Line, and Haymarket on the Green Line.
