Spirit of Philadelphia

401 S Columbus Blvd · Philadelphia, PA

Why you should go…

Philadelphia looks its best from the water, and this Penn's Landing dinner cruise pairs the skyline with a buffet, a DJ, and a dance floor. Lunch, brunch, and themed party cruises run throughout the year, gliding past the Ben Franklin Bridge as the city lights come up. It's a reliably fun splurge for date nights and celebrations.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
