Description:
Quite simply, a Washington DC dinner cruise is the perfect night out. A magical setting enhanced by dazzling city sights and harbor lights.

An evening filled to the brim with wonderful cuisine, live music and dancing under a canopy of stars. For a party of two, a group of couples, or a grand affair for up to 600 guests, this is the ultimate Washington experience.

You'll know you're in for a special evening the moment you step aboard our beautiful ship and are escorted to your candlelit table.

Order drinks, then feel free to explore the ship while our crew casts off for three fabulous hours on Washington Harbor.

Savor your culinary selections over perfectly-paced dinner music and a never-ending view of DC's historic harbor seen through our huge panoramic windows. Truly, a sight you won't soon forget.

While you relax over coffee and dessert, talented performers will dazzle you with song and dance on the center stage. These exciting entertainers are among the finest "rising stars" in the city. You're sure to see them on television, stage or film in the near future!

After the show, take your drinks topside and relax on the largest outdoor patio deck in the city while DC's historic waterfront spreads before you in all directions. It's the perfect pause before the pulsing beat of dance tunes entices you onto the dance floor.

The perfect end to the perfect night.
