Frequently Asked Questions About Special Event Cruises
What is a special event cruise?
Special event cruises are limited-date experiences that feature themed entertainment, holiday celebrations, live performances, interactive activities, or unique dining experiences beyond traditional sightseeing and dining cruises. Every special event offers a completely different way to experience the Ohio River.
How often do special event cruises take place?
Special event cruises are scheduled on select dates throughout the year, with offerings changing seasonally. New events and experiences are added regularly, so we recommend checking the upcoming schedule often to see what’s currently available.
What types of special event cruises are available?
Special event cruises may include holiday celebrations, themed dining experiences, brunch cruises, interactive entertainment, and seasonal events on the river. Offerings change throughout the year based on the season, special occasions, and event schedule.
Are special event cruises different from regular dining or sightseeing cruises?
Yes. Special event cruises often include themed entertainment, specialty menus, décor, or interactive elements that are not part of standard sightseeing or dining cruises. These added touches help create a more immersive and memorable experience on the river.
