Cruise along the Potomac River. 

Climb aboard the Nightingale and take in D.C. from its historic waterway! On this 45 minute cruise down the Potomac River, enjoy the sites on shore while you relax. With an oboard bar and a narration providing tidbits about everything you can see from the river, its another great way to see the Nation's Capitol!  

SPECTACULAR VIEWS

No matter which way you look, there is always a great view from the Potomac River. See the Kennedy Center, Georgetown, the Memorials, the Pentagon, and the DC Skyline all while you casually cruise down the calm waters of the Potomac River.

SNACKS AND DRINKS AVAILABLE 

On board, you'll find a cash bar with alcohol, soft drinks, and snacks. Tables and chairs across the deck mean you can relax, take in the views and enjoy a drink while you tug along.

The River Cruise departs daily from the Georgetown Waterfront which puts you steps away from some great shops and restaurants. Make it a really special day and enjoy lunch or dinner at Farmers, Fishers, & Bakers, the Orange Anchor, or any of the other great restaurants only steps away.
