30 Minutes at the Dock

What You'll See on the Tour

We walk the boat the way your guests will, from the gangway to the top deck, and talk through how your event would run on her.

The main deck

The enclosed dining room where most of an evening happens: 132 seats at white-linen tables, the buffet line, the full-service bar, and the dance floor, all on one level. Climate controlled and wheelchair accessible from the dock.

The top deck

Open air, lounge seating, and the best view of the skyline and the Roebling Bridge anywhere in the city. This is where the cocktail hour and the sunset crowd end up.

The stern

The red paddlewheel that makes her what she is, and the most photographed spot on board. It is the same view river travelers had 150 years ago.

The dock and the lot

Where guests arrive, where motor coaches and shuttles park, and how boarding works. Seeing it once answers most of the logistics questions.

Worth bringing

  • Your date, or the two or three you are choosing between
  • A rough guest count
  • Questions about menus, the bar, and outside vendors
  • Anyone else who gets a say
