Customer Review

“It was just amazing to work with your team. Our guests were floored by the experience. The views going out during the day and coming back at night made the 2.5 hours go by quickly, with everyone being entertained the whole time. Our DJ did an awesome job with our requests, and the food, bartenders, and crew were top-notch!”

“What a fun, unique experience! It was easy to book online. Our account manager and onboard contact were amazing! The food was really, really good. Several colleagues commented on how tasty lunch was. The whole crew was polite and easy to work with. Best holiday party ever—we loved it!”

Customer Review

“My birthday brunch cruise was the absolute best. The vessel is beautiful, and the service from start to finish was superb. The food, spread out in stations to avoid overcrowding, was perfect. The free-flowing champagne was a hit. Several of my guests are planning to book for their upcoming events! We had a wonderful time.”
