Tips & Advice
- Book early, because prices change with demand and many Saturday and holiday cruises sell out in advance.
- Request a vegan or gluten-free breakfast ahead of time, since the small galley handles dietary changes best when it knows in advance.
- When you reserve online, add any wheelchair or other accessibility needs to the booking notes so the crew can help you up the ramp.
- Wear solid, non-slip shoes instead of high heels with your festive holiday outfit, since you'll be moving around a boat on the river.
- If plans might change, add Ticket Assurance when you book, because refunds are only offered with it and it can't be added later.
Special Events & Promotions
- Group discounts for parties of 10 or more
- Ticket Assurance add-on, bought at booking, lets you reschedule or get a refund up to 24 hours before your cruise
