Experience the nation's capital on a scenic lunch cruise! On this Washington DC cruise, not only will you indulge in an all-you-can-eat buffet, but there will also be live entertainment! Enjoy a colorful cast of performers, including a DJ to play your favorite songs and lively narration of the endless stream of city sites you pass, including the Washington Monument, the Potomac River and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
Step aboard the sleek cruise ship and get ready to be pampered and entertained on a 2-hour cruise along Washington DC’s Potomac River. Take in spectacular views of the city's downtown and enjoy a grand buffet with drinks served by the attentive wait staff. It's a great way enjoy all the highlights of Washington DC as you dine and dance the afternoon away!
Some highlights you will see along the way include the 555-foot (169-meter) Washington Monument, the world’s tallest free-standing stone sculpture. Pass by the Reagan National Airport, one of the busiest airports in the US with an average of one flight every 30 seconds during peak periods!
You'll also cruise by Alexandria, Virginia. Alexandria was first established in the 1600s by tobacco merchants from Scotland and England. Additionally, you’ll see the Torpedo Factory, pass by Admiral's Row, cruise under the famous Woodrow Wilson Bridge, view the US Naval Research Lab and more!
Was a nice trip down the Potomac on a clear cool day. The food was ok - nothing special at all. The staff was especially nice and attentive, and the DJ kept everyone dancing and smiling throughout the trip

Loved it! Service was great, weather was perfect and the food just topped it all off. What a great way to spend the afternoon.

We really enjoyed the October 21 Lunch cruise. We couldn't decide between the Spirit and the Odyssey cruise. The Odyssey was a barge with a restaurant on top. This was a real ship with multiple decks. _br/_ The food was good and the waiter was AMAZING! ALL the staff was outstanding. We really enjoyed that the boat was not full for the lunch cruise and so we could find places to watch the shoreline go by where we were not in the middle of a crowd. We wished there would have been more explanation of what we saw along the shore. There was some, but it was minimal. The DJ was good but not pushy.

The Cruise was a delight. The Staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The food was delicious._br/_ The only difficulty was at the ticket window, it was unclear what line we were to get in for our tour._br/_ And the temporary construction around the dock made it difficult to be sure one was at the correct_br/_ address. Otherwise, my husband and I gave high kudos for this experience.

The lunch cruise was so much fun! The food was awesome and it was so wonderful to see the staff on the dance floor. Thank you for a great experience.

Not what we expected. Nothing wrong with the trip, we had expected to trip up the Potomac and see the monuments. Instead we traveled down and there weren't any sites to see other than old town Alexandra. The detail description should have been more descriptive.

I booked Friday morning for Wed at 12. At 11:45 Wed morn my status was still pending. I called and the lady was panicked for me asking where I was. I told her a Pier 4 (loading area) so they called and had them wait. A crew member came to get us and escorted us to the ship. DJ played nice variety.

The DJ was great, more choices of desert_br/_ make the ride longer.

Food was good and the waiter was very good on the cruise but did not realized which cruise we were going to. I sent multiple emails asking for details no one came back to me with the information I was requesting. We got there and it's not what I was expecting...viator should be clear on their page which cruise and what type of cruise. The cruise is not a guided one so there is no information of where and what landmarks we were going through either so it wasn't very informative if you want to know more about DC.

We really enjoyed this lunch cruise. The food was very good. The staff was extremely friendly and very accommodating. The DJ narrated the sightseeing and played music. Everyone on board seemed to be having a good time.

I am so glad you asked. We were 5 adults, 1 four and a hall year old and twin two year olds. I was celebrating a big birthday with my family in the DC area.and thought the cruise would be a lovely way to end a fun weekend . It was a great choice for us! I don't recall seeing that there would be reserved tables on you r contact info but, it was welcomed when we went on board not to have to search for an empty table and manage the kiddies. By the way, they absolutely adored the flights of steps and would rate their ascents and descents a solid 5 STARS. As a family we had been eating out all weekend and found the food in many places very good but the service lacking. You were all very organized, friendly and totally customer service oriented. From the photogs on deck and then Drew on board , all servers and the Baquet Manager helped to assure on cruise was great fun and exceeded my expectations. PS the food was yummy , too. Thank you all for a wonderful birthday celebration!! Andrea P. And family

The lunch cruise tour was awesome. My entire family really enjoyed the time we spent on the boat. The employees were great, the food was marvelous. And the DJ was wonderful, he had a dynamic voice, he can dance and d j at the same time. He help made to trip magnificent. So I thoroughly would recommend this tour, it was worth while. We enjoyed it so that the time just flew by us, that was just how much fun we had. My hat's off the cook, the DJ, and the whole staff. If I ever travel to D C again, this will be one of my stops. Oh, we were from Mississippi, and it was my birthday and they really made me feel special. Thanks again!

Excellent. The crew, the music and the food was excellent.
Review by: Derrick T, March 2014
The food and the service was better than the tour. The food was hot and ready on time. The wait staff was excellent and friendly. The tour narration didn't give much detail of what you could see from the water.

This tour was our Thanksgiving family outing with our Daughter, her husband and our three year old granddaughter. The food was delicious, the scenery was super and the dancing with my grand daughter was awesome. We had a awesome time and recommend this cruise to all.

Good food...great boat...friendly crew....fabulous weather....
Review by: Gordon S, July 2013
This was a real shocker! When we got up to get ready for our lunch cruise it was pouring down rain and it was still raining when we go to the boat. But the cruise was still on, and all the people did an incredible job; the food was great, the boat was great, the service was great, and the entertainment was great! In fact, everything was GREAT!! Oh, and it did stop raining and turned out to be a nice day. Every person who lives in D.C. or visits D.C. should do this lunch cruise it's GREAT!!
Review by: Aubrey W, July 2013
Only have one complaint about the cruise. I was expecting more scenic/tourist information on the cruise. _br/_
Very little information was provided about the D.C. area, and that was one of the reasons that I selected the cruise. Other than that enjoyed it. Very friendly staff and good food.
Review by: Elizabeth S, June 2013
It was a fun trip and the meal was very good. Just wish that we could have gone a little further on the Potomac.
Review by: Dara L. T, June 2013
We loved our cruise. The staff were all terrific, the band was great (my 3 yr old niece was the first and last on the dance floor, and the food was very nicely presented._br/_
Thank you!

Having never been in Washington before I thought this day time lunch cruise would be a good way to get the lay of the land and river.

The food was wonderful. The music was 70's, disco so it was sort going back in time for me. The singers and dancers were good. We went to top and enjoyed the beautiful view for quite awhile.

I can't say enough great things. Food superb. Entertainment was great. If in Washington, I will go again.

Nice trip
Review by: Alison M, July 2012
What a treat this was! There were 6 of us on this cruise. The staff were wonderful and very attentive without being intrusive. The meal was delicious and the entertainment by the staff excellent. Everyone got involved at the end with the dancing and it was such a happy atmosphere in beautiful surroundings on the river. The added touch of the staff lined up and singing to everyone as we disembarked was just the icing on the cake for us. Can't rate this high enough. If we could have stayed on for the dinner cruise we would have. Don't miss the chance of this trip. Simply wonderful :)

We loved our mid-day lunch buffet cruise. The views were fabulous as was the on-board entertainment. Only suggestions would be to freshen up the crews' uniforms (short sleeves in June heat are preferable) and fix the broken vanity in the ladies' room. Other than those small items- absolutely lovely! We'd highly recommend.
