The Liberty sets sail from Long Wharf and offers a few rides a day, including a sunset cruise. The ship is beautiful. They can fit a lot of people on board so I recommend getting to check in about thirty minutes prior to the sailing time so you can find a good spot to sit. Even with a lot of people on board the boat never seemed crowded so don't let that deter you.
The cruise takes you out to the airport and back and lasts two hours. It's a lovely, peaceful two hours with great city views.
It was also really cool to watch the planes land.
And sometimes a "pirate ship" fires at you.
We had a great time, sipping prosecco and taking in the views. We made an agreement that we would take this boat ride once a year from now on, and not wait 11 years!
The sail was over around 8:00 which left us lots of time to continue the evening. We headed over to our favorite restaurant, The Marliave, for snacks and drinks. Lucky for us, there were two seats at the bar. We enjoyed some delicious snacks~ mac and cheese, rarebits, oysters, and chocolate truffles!
After dinner, I decided we should walk home. The weather was perfect and the walk home is only a few miles. We walked through the Common, past the State House, and up Charles Street (seriously the most beautiful street in the city) before crossing the Longfellow Bridge into Cambridge.
The whole night was a true city success and a perfect way to end my city summer!
