Come aboard Washington's premier dining ship! This 2.5-3 hour dinner cruise takes you along the Potomac River for panoramic views of the nation's greatest monuments as you dine on a freshly prepared 3-course dinner.
The boat's unique design allows you to travel beneath the historic bridges spanning the Potomac River, while the glass-atrium dining rooms offer spectacular views.
Dressed in your most festive attire, arrive early and enjoy a cocktail. You'll discover the ship's unique elegance is merely a taste of the experience to come. The Captain and crew will greet you as you step aboard, and the ship's photographer will record the moment for your party. Once on deck, your hostess will greet you and escort you to your private table, where your wait staff will introduce themselves and give you the opportunity to decide how you'd like them to pace your service.
The boat has three climate-controlled dining rooms, an open-air deck to explore and a distinctive atmosphere that's reminiscent of the European canal ships. Be sure to visit the Captain's bridge, open to all passengers throughout most of the cruise.
The menu of creative seasonal starters, entrees and desserts is freshly prepared onboard daily, perfectly complemented by an excellent wine list. With soft piano music, spacious dance floors and live music provided by a five-piece band, the entertainment doesn't end until well after the ship returns to the marina. Dance to everything from classic jazz to contemporary favorites.
As you depart, feeling relaxed and refreshed, you'll find your boarding photo ready for purchase.
The Odyssey boat night course was nice and relaxing. The staff on the boat where very accommodating._br/_ The food was very good and the live music was good.

The end of June 2017 we took a tour of Washington D.C. and while at the National cemetery our tour guide explained about the gondolas _br/_ that come by if they had a U.S. Flag over the gondola not to take pictures because the burial had not occurred ---if it had a black drape over it that it was ok to take pictures. As the horses came by and got along side me he stopped!!!! I had my Vietnam Veteran and Navy cap on. The lead horse came directly over to me and stopped real close--the man reached out and handed me a red rose and said_br/_ Thank you for your service!!! I was just so honored more than anytime in my over 20 years of active duty in the Navy. The tour guide said that in her over 20 years of doing tours she had never observed this. This was the most outstanding tour ever! _br/_ Milton Whitehurst, Commander USN retired

Great cruise. A highlight of trip to DC
Review by: John D, July 2016
We were celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary. The waitress we had was excellent and very talkative, which we enjoyed. The food was very good. The only con was the weather and that was beyond their control obviously, so couldn't realty stroll the deck. But you could see pretty well through the huge windows even though we were not next to a window. Very enjoyable
Review by: Sandra M, July 2016
The food and cruise was superb. The music made it even more fun!! Had a wonderful time. Would do this again.
Review by: Leonard K, July 2016
The dinner cruise was a treat for the senses_br/_ Friendly staff, cocktails available for purchase and a good dinner. Smooth sailing on the river allowed for a stroll around the deck. A great band played music for listening or dancing. _br/_ Great combination for a fun night out!
Review by: Linda C, June 2016
The food was average which we could forgive but the service was really lacking. 45 minutes after being seated, we finally got a glass of water. The band was excellent though.
Review by: David W, June 2016
We had a really great time, food was better than expected,service and servers were exceptional and the band was great , playing all kinds of music, only downside is it and #39;s out of the way for getting a cab for your return to your hotel

A truly wonderful experience on the Potomac cruise. The meal and entertainment were exceptional and dancing with my wife brought romance to the air. We will be back ourselves and will highly recommend to family and friends.

Great experience and thanks for making the evening special
Didnt make it thanks to Amtrak messing me about in new york with my train
Review by: Janelle/Sue E, June 2015
WE did the dinner cruise on our last night in town. It was the perfect ending to our vacation. Food and service was excellent and the views were spectacular. Would do this again and again. We took our granddaughter who is 15 and she loved being apart of an adult evening. This could be a very romantic evening for a celebration. The crew went above and beyond any expectations we had.

This tour was amazing!
Review by: gayle.richardson52, June 2015
The staff was great. We were not able to go the normal route due to high water levels making it unsafe to go under the bridges to Georgetown. Our route wasn't very scenic hence the bulk of my disappointment. The food was alright but not noteworthy.
Review by: Michael H, June 2015
My wife and I took this cruise for our 15th anniversary. We boarded the ship and were escorted to out table. The table was our own, but we were about two feet from the table to our right and left. The server immediately greeted us and was very friendly. The service and food was very good, but the pace was not. It took 30 minutes for us to get our drinks and we got dessert two and a half hours into the three hour trip. We really enjoyed the outside deck, but the views of the monuments were from a great distance and we only got to see the Washington monument and the Capitol. I feel like they oversold that part of the trip. The music was very good, but it was hard to have a conversation because it was loud. Overall, this cruise is worth doing because the food is very good, the crew was very friendly, and sitting outside was relaxing and romantic.

Very expensive, but the food and entertainment were wonderful.
Review by: Nancy L, June 2015
We arrived about 30 minutes before sailing time, were seated, drink orders were taken while reviewing dinner menus. The boat left the dock just after the 8PM Sailing time. We had drinks, and dinner dinner was served shortly after we cruised south out of the marina harbor area around Haines Point ? out into the Potomac River where we turned and cruised upriver past the DC sights, and Reagan National Airport across the river in Va. We Cruised up river to just beyond the Key Bridge at Georgetown where we turned around to cruise back. The dinner was very good, the cruise smooth on the River and the company excellent. The band played requests, dance music and folks enjoyed dancing on a reasonably spacious dance floor. We arrived back at the marina just after 11PM 3 hours after leaving the dock. Upon leaving the boat and making our way across the parking lot, to the street we were disappointed to find no large number of taxis waiting to take away the large number of people who had not driven themselves there. Since this is a regular and ongoing operation, I would have thought that there would be a number of taxis waiting or arriving reasonably soon. Only 3-4 showed up, and we finally were picked up by a passing limousine driver with whom we negotiated a fee to take us to our hotel nearly twice what a cab would have cost. After 11PM most everyone has left this area of the city so there was not the vast amount of traffic which would be passing during the daytime. I am going to suggest that the cruise company make arrangements with at least one of the cab companies in town to send a number of cabs down there to arrive within 10-15 minutes after the boat returns to pick up passengers. Otherwise it means a walk around to one of the more traveled streets. So if you have an app on your Smart phone to call a cab you will want to use it or make arrangements otherwise. All in all an excellent experience and I recommend it to anyone. Will probably do so again.

Outstanding! Everything was in place, and perfect, it made my 31st Anniversary a special memory.
Review by: Holly M, February 2015
This was not our thing. I wish we saw more monuments but the focus was on the food ( not great) and the dancing. Not worth the heavy price tag.
Review by: CJ, October 2014
Not easy to find -even when a cab droped me off. Very dark area and it was not easy to get a cab afterwrds-luckily I was with two poeple I'd met on the boat and not on my own.
Review by: SANDRA C, October 2014
The food dancing and cruise wqs great! Would tell everyone to do this!!
Review by: Diana, September 2014
Our side of the boat was way too cold. I had to mention it to 4 different employees before they moved us. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Food delivery could have been a little faster. Band and food was good.
