Quick Actions

Tips & Advice

  • Consider arriving at least 30 minutes before boarding to secure preferred seating, as it's first-come, first-served.
  • Dress in layers, as river breezes can be cooler than on land, and don't forget your Halloween costume if you wish to wear one!
  • Check the cruise calendar for the most accurate departure times, as they may vary slightly.
  • If you have mobility concerns, inquire about the ramp access and its current condition before your visit.
  • Make reservations in advance, especially for weekend cruises, as on-site ticket purchases are subject to availability.
