  1. Cruise Port Spotlight: Boston

    A frequent stop and embarkation port on New England/Canada and Bermuda voyages as well as starting point of some seasonal Caribbean cruises and an occasional stop on trans-Atlantic voyages, Boston has seen a dramatic increase in cruise business in recent years. The city welcomed its one-millionth cruise passenger in 2011 and launched an $11 million renovation to the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal including a new third floor with 60,000-square feet of space for passenger processing at Cruiseport Boston in 2010. Passenger-friendly Cruiseport Boston is only a couple of miles from the city’s downtown with plentiful taxis when ships are in port and a trolley shuttle that links the waterfront to such must-sees as the colonial-style Faneuil Hall Marketplace on 1, Faneuil Hall Square, Quincy Market, a historic building on 4, South Market Street with great shops and peddler carts galore; the New England Aquarium with more than 70 exhibits with aquatic animals from around the world at Central Wharf, near Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market; and Copley Square in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood with diverse architectural styles including such buildings as Boston’s Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library and the John Hancock buildings including a tower by noted Chinese architect I.M. Pei. Back Bay also boasts such landmarks as the Boston Public Garden; Boston Common, America’s oldest public park; and the Cheers Pub, “where everybody knows your name.”

  2. Cruise Port Spotlight: Lisbon, Portugal

    Most cruise ships passengers make sure they are out on deck for the arrival of their ship into Lisbon. Its setting is beautiful: it is the only European capital city on the Atlantic Ocean and sits on the wide Tagus River. As they navigate the river, many of the Portuguese capital’s must-sees are visible including the elaborate limestone Belem Tower, standing tall on the river’s bank, erected as a fort in the 16th century; and the limestone Monument to the Discoveries, depicting a group of navigators and monarchs on the deck of a sailing ship –men who figured prominently in Portugal’s exploits in exploration including Ferdinand Magellan, Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator.

  8. Springtime for Charlotte: 10 reasons to fly there now

    CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Many a traveler moves through Charlotte; fewer stick around. For some, it's just a busy hub airport, visited occasionally while taking advantage of US Airways' often reasonable fares to other places. We know it as an important financial capital, we know it's not Charleston, or Asheville, or any other popular destination located within striking distance.
