When It Runs
How Concert Cruises Work
Concert cruises are paused for now. This is how they run when they're on the schedule, so you know what you're signing up to hear about.
Park free in Dayton, Kentucky
Concert cruises board at our dock at 100 O'Fallon Avenue, where the lot has 152 free spaces and nobody fights for a spot at the venue.
Cruise to Riverbend
The Spirit of Cincinnati runs up the Ohio River to Riverbend Music Center with the bar open on board, and drops you at the amphitheater for the show.
Sail home after the encore
The boat waits through the show and brings everyone back downriver to the dock, which beats sitting in the Riverbend exit line.
How much do concert cruises cost?
When the service ran, tickets started at $25 per person for the round trip on the river. Concert tickets are separate and bought from the venue.
Which shows get a cruise?
Select Riverbend Music Center dates during the April through October season. Join the list and the first email will have the lineup when the service returns.
Can a group charter the boat for a concert night instead?
Yes. A private charter can be timed around a Riverbend show for a company outing or a big group of friends. Request a quote and tell us the date.
In the meantime, the public cruise calendar has the ticketed sailings that are running this season.
