Cruising On The Potomac With Entertainment Cruises

My husband and I have always enjoyed being on the water. We’ve lived in the DC area for a while now and have always been curious about Odyssey Dinner Cruises. So, in honor of Dave’s birthday, we spent an evening celebrating with friends while enjoying dinner and cruising on the Potomac River, courtesy of Entertainment Cruises. 

This was the perfect birthday experience to give to Dave. Dave grew up near the lake, so he would go canoeing, boating and water skiing pretty regularly. He was turning 50 and wanted to do something local that would make him feel like we were on a mini-vacation. I couldn’t think of a better idea that would marry his love for boating while he could kick back, relax, dine with friends and enjoy a fantastic meal. It was so much more than that! They had a live band that played music from every decade and they even had a dance floor!

Entertainment Cruises is the nation’s largest dining & sightseeing cruise company in 7 metro locations including DC – If you ever see Odyssey DC or Spirit of Washington cruising down the Potomac, that’s them! They offer day and evening cruises, excursions and private charters in ten cities across the US. You can cruise in a unique space with views other venues can’t offer. Planning for the cruise is simple. They have customizable packages and someone to do the work for you.

The Odyssey is great for a date night with your spouse or a night out with friends. Included in the package is a European-inspired glass ship featuring lunch, brunch, dinner, and cocktail cruises.

• A 2-3 hour cruise on the Potomac River

It rained and we had thunderstorms the night of our cruise. However, the cruises go on, rain or shine. And the stormy weather didn’t take away anything from the views. Washington D.C. is one of the prettiest cities in the world and seeing it from the water during the rain was an exceptionally cherished experience had by all of us.

I highly recommend exploring DC by water. Readers of Clarendon Moms will receive an exclusive offer of 10% Off Your Tickets by using the “ANGELICA”.
