Overview
Up to 45 minutes before your sightseeing cruise begins, make your way to the waterfront departure point and board your vessel.
When the time comes, set sail along the Potomac River. Travel aboard a modern dining ship, equipped with plenty of comfortable seating, plus large picture windows and an open-air deck that provide great views of Washington DC. There are also spacious dance floors and full-service bars on board.
Before or after eating, grab a drink from one of the on-board bars (own expense) and dance the afternoon away as a professional DJ spins the latest hits.
Throughout the cruise, look out for attractions including the Washington Monument, Reagan National Airport, the United States Naval Research Laboratory, Old Town Alexandria in Virginia, the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge, and much more.
This tour ends at your original departure point.

Very pleasant ride 1
Saeed_P, Dec 2025
A very pleasant ride. Nice music and very talented DG. But the reason I gave three stars to this ride because of food. The variety is so low and quality was not good. I hope they reconsider about food
