There was no narration on the cruise. After we got past all the industry on the shoreline the scenery was pretty. It would have helped to have all the industry explained and to give value to it.

This was my first time on the DA....We went to the Ship of Fools Grateful Dead cruise and weather held off ....people were awesome and we really had an excellent time...Met The Captain Anthony!!~ We will be back.....
We were on the upper deck, beautiful weather and smooth sailing. A nice leisurely pace so you could look around. We saw 3 bald eagles on the way back up the river! Highly recommend the trip.
We took on the twilight/sunset cruise. The band was really good. We also had our dog with us and she was very relaxed. The ship was a really nice 3 decker. We were outside and when it cooled down, we sat on the first deck comfortably.
Enjoyed the trip very much. There is an old song about "Taking the Night Boat to Albany." We were saying it would be fabulous for one of the area museums to sponsor a special tour in which musicians play period music and people are encouraged to wear clothing reminiscent or like that of the 1920s. The song "Why Do They All Take the Night Boat to Albany?" was written for the 1918 musical Sinbad and was also performed by Al Jolson around that time, with a popular recording date noted as April 29, 1918. The song features music by Jean Schwartz and lyrics by Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young.
My mom and I went on the Irish music ride. She's 85. They were so accommodating. We had a great time. Everyone, employees and passengers were awesome. Hope to try it again next summer, if physically able.
Great food great music great atmosphere, would do it again .it was a great time for everyone that spoke with. My girlfriend will concur.
Thank you! We’re so glad you loved the food, music, and atmosphere—and that everyone (girlfriend included!) had a great time. Can’t wait to have you aboard again! 🎶⚓️
Nice, relaxing cruise down the river. Staff was very friendly , boat was clean. Live music was great.

Thank you for the kind words and continued support! We’re so glad you’re enjoying the music cruises—can’t wait to have you back aboard! 🎶🚢
This little cruise was such a great experience for me and my daughter on our little date night! Would we go again!? Absolutely..just not while it’s raining and wet! The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the crew made it comfortable and clean for us. We ordered nachos (fantastic) I ordered a sex on the beach (fantastic)The restrooms are big enough for you to move around in and very clean which I appreciate…on the side note..I think it would be even more fun if they offered a night of bingo or trivia games for more entertainment. We also Enjoyed listening to the history of the area. I definitely recommend it!
