Introduction de nouveaux protocoles d'hygiène et de service pour assurer le bien-être de tous
Philadelphia, July 16, 2020 – Hornblower Cruises and Events will be restarting its Philadelphia operations on Friday, July 24, offering an exciting choice of al fresco experiences on the Delaware River for those craving a getaway – all without leaving the city! While guests can still expect the same high standards and welcoming service, experiences have been adapted to reflect the need for social distance, alongside elevated health and hygiene practices. And with expansive outer decks – the city’s biggest rooftop – the company’s sleek vessel also provides plentiful space and fresh air. There’s more than enough room on board for everyone to stay safely apart.
Hornblower’s General Manager, Ryan O’Connor is urging fellow residents to take a staycation and let Philadelphia surprise them all over again: “What better way to celebrate summer and rediscover the charm of our wonderful city from the spacious deck of Spirit of Philadelphia! Whether looking to dine under the stars, soak up a unique 360-degree perspective or simply take to the majestic Delaware for windswept, fresh-air laden experience – we are thrilled to safely welcome our Guests back aboard.”
Outdoor Dining Cruises Starting July 24
Having undergone a multi-million-dollar transformation last year, Spirit of Philadelphia boasts the region’s most exciting on-the-water dining cruise experience while offering unparalleled vistas of the Philadelphia and Camden skylines from its expansive rooftop deck.
For those looking to set sail this summer, Hornblower offers a choice of al fresco lunch and dinner experiences departing from its berth at Penn’s Landing. While aboard, guests can expect DJ entertainment peppered with engaging narration about the city’s storied history and landmarks. Cruises feature freshly prepared multi-course menus complemented by a sophisticated selection of award-winning wines, craft beers and specialty cocktails. Prices start at *$52.90 (lunch), *$79.90 (dinner). For private groups, Hornblower Private Yachts also operates luxurious charter options.
