As the nation’s largest dining cruise provider, Entertainment Cruises showcases some of the United States’ top places on its more than 100 excursions. Tour operators have a variety of options to choose from—sightseeing excursions, meal-themed cruises, special-event sailings, private group charters, thrill rides on speedboats and more—when booking one of the company’s one- to four-hour tours.

Entertainment Cruises operates from ports in nine U.S. destinations: Chicago; Boston; Baltimore; Philadelphia; New York City; Lincoln Harbor, New Jersey; Norfolk, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and National Harbor, Maryland. That list of iconic places allows travelers to see some of the nation’s top landmarks as part of tours including:

Washington, D.C.  Groups can enjoy everything from meal and sightseeing rides past the famous monuments to educational and photography-centered rides around the nation’s capital.

Chicago  In addition to its regular fleet, the company has five open-air speedboats that jet around the lakefront and provide great views of Chicago’s diverse architecture.

New York City  The iconic Statue of Liberty and the city’s many bridges are mainstays on harbor tours. A number of specialized culinary cruises of the Big Apple also are available.
