Kun je een betere plek bedenken om Thanksgiving te vieren dan in Philadelphia? Als stad die de geboorteplaats van de Verenigde Staten wordt genoemd en bekend staat als de Stad van Broederliefde, is Philadelphia het perfecte decor om Thanksgiving te vieren. De stad is rijk aan geschiedenis en heeft talloze iconische monumenten, dus zowel inwoners als bezoekers genieten van de stad met de Liberty Bell, Independence Mall en vele andere bezienswaardigheden.
When you plan for the Thanksgiving holiday this year, you’ll obviously want your family and your friends surrounding you at the table. While everyone thinks of the traditional feast, don’t forget the drinks, football, maybe some family games, and of course, great conversation. Remove the cooking and baking from your things to do this year and bring the family over to City Cruises and enjoy Thanksgiving on the water aboard one of our exclusive yachts! This way, you can let someone else do the work so you can kick back and relax. It will be a new experience, an unforgettable one at that, one that can be the start of a new tradition for you and your family.
Thanksgiving in Philadelphia is het beste als je het op het water viert
Start the holiday off right with a Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Early Dinner Cruise. Instead of having your loved ones show up at your home, meet up at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia so that you can begin your Thanksgiving Day excursion together. This Thanksgiving is going to be different as you all embark on an unforgettable experience.
City Cruises’ Early Dinner Signature Cruise will be extra special because, along with dining, you will get to dance to tunes played by a live DJ and enjoy amazing skyline views on the Delaware River, along with historic waterfront views.
A delicious, chef-prepared buffet will be waiting for you and your guests, including all the trimmings for Thanksgiving. There’s something for everyone on the menu, including salads such as the Greek salad and roasted vegetables and grains. For the main course, choices include hand-carved oven-roasted turkey, oven-roasted Atlantic salmon, and three cheese-baked macaroni. Enjoy compliments, including garlic mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, and traditional stuffing. Plus, you will have your choice of apple crisp and delicious choices from a seasonal dessert display for dessert. Unlimited coffee, hot tea, iced tea, and water are included. Soda and alcoholic beverages are available for purchase on the cruise. City Cruises tries to accommodate dietary restrictions as well.
Of je nu op de binnendekken met klimaatbeheersing zit of geniet van het adembenemende uitzicht vanaf de dakterrassen in de open lucht, je krijgt een aantal bezienswaardigheden van Philadelphia te zien, waaronder de Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Kleed u casual en weet dat u gegarandeerd een tafel voor uw gezelschap krijgt als u uw plek reserveert. Maak er een Thanksgiving van zoals je die nog nooit hebt gehad en een waar je graag naar terug zult komen.
If you are looking for something a little later in the evening, we also offer a Thanksgiving Day Dinner Cruise for a truly special holiday gathering. We’ll take care of the details while you savor quality time with loved ones over a delicious Thanksgiving buffet meal and jaw-dropping skyline views. From the comfort of our warm and cozy indoor spaces or on the open-air decks, you’ll soak in spectacular views of Philadelphia’s iconic landmarks, such as the Ben Franklin Bridge. This memorable Thanksgiving celebration is complete with a fully stocked cash bar, live DJ entertainment, games, and dancing into the night! Set sail for a spectacular holiday gathering on the Delaware River!
