Paused for now. Returning soon.

We aren't running river shuttles to Bengals or Reds games right now, but they'll be back. Leave your email below and you'll be the first to know when they return.

Private charters, dinner cruises, and other events on the Ohio River are still available. This page only applies to public gameday shuttle tickets, which are on hold until further notice.

When It Runs

How Gameday Shuttles Work

The service is paused for now. This is what it looks like when it's on the schedule, so you know what you're signing up to hear about.

Park free in Dayton, Kentucky

Shuttles board at our dock at 100 O'Fallon Avenue, where the lot has 152 free spaces. No stadium-district parking, no surge pricing.

Ride the river to the game

The Spirit of Cincinnati carries you up the Ohio to the riverfront stadiums with the skyline coming into view on the way, bar open on board.

Ride back after the final out

When the game ends, the boat brings you back to your car on the Kentucky side while the bridge traffic sorts itself out.

Which games does the shuttle run for?

When the service is running, it covers Bengals and Reds home games. Join the list and the first email will have the schedule.

How much will it cost?

Pricing will be announced with the return schedule. Everyone on the list hears first, before tickets go on sale.

Can our group book the boat on a game day instead?

Yes. Private charters still run on game days, and a tailgate cruise for a company or a group of friends is one of the best ways to use the Spirit. Request a quote and tell us the game.

In the meantime, the public cruise calendar has the ticketed sailings that are running this season.
