Gateway to America's Oldest Seaport and Art Colony
400 years ago Samuel de Champlain landed in
Gloucester and christened it Le Beauport because of the beautiful harbor and scenic rocky shores.
 At the heart of
Cape Ann (just 30 miles north of Boston),
Gloucester remains both the oldest fishing community in the U.S. and home to the oldest art colony in North America.
Made famous by the movie,
The Perfect Storm, Gloucester retains its centuries-old, local charm and offers scores of
attractions, over a dozen
spectacular beaches and first-class services for the discerning traveler.
Passengers disembark at Rowe Square dock in the heart of the working waterfront — easy walking distance to downtown shops, museums and a fleet of boats offering
whale watching trips,
harbor tours, river cruises, schooner sailing and
deep sea fishing adventures.
Ultra-Luxury Seabourn Cruise Line Chose Gloucester "Because we can!"
On October 12, 2006, the Seabourn Pride made history in Gloucester, MA by being the first cruise ship ever to dock in the port of Gloucester for the purpose of embarking and disembarking passengers.
