Private Events That Set Sail on Cape Ann

Set sail from Gloucester’s working harbor and give your gathering a horizon line. Beauport Cruiselines, berthed at Cruiseport Gloucester, pairs indoor decks with an open-air top deck for dining, dancing, and toasts. In-house coordination and catering are handled impeccably, while shifting coastal views make every moment distinctly Cape Ann.

Cruiselines

Step aboard a private cruise ship designed for events, complete with dance floors, bars, and a full catering menu. Two dining levels invite easy mingling, while the open-air deck lounge brings sea breezes and sunset color. The vessel accommodates up to 300 guests and cruises Gloucester Harbor, turning rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, and any good time into an experience that moves with the water, from dockside departure to return.
