Itinerary

Federal Hill Park

Passing by

Glide past Federal Hill Park while taking in views of its famous red-clay bluff from the water. As the boat sails past without stopping, the guide shares stories of how this historic neighborhood evolved from a 1788 constitutional celebration site, maritime lookout, and Civil War stronghold into a bustling waterfront district. Travelers remain comfortably aboard the vessel, with live narration included as part of the cruise experience.
Fell's Point

Passing by

View the historic district of Fell's Point from the harbor decks as the vessel passes by its historic waterfront. Passengers will observe Baltimore's original 1726 deep-water port from the water while learning about its deep maritime roots, surviving 18th-century architecture, and classic brick row homes. This water-based sightseeing segment is fully covered by the cruise admission, requiring no additional tickets or walking.
Inner Harbor

Passing by

Cruise through the heart of the Inner Harbor to admire sweeping views of Baltimore’s iconic waterfront districts, including Locust Point, Canton, Brewers Hill, and Harbor East. Passengers will spot major local landmarks from the open-air or sheltered decks, such as the famous Domino Sugar sign and the Under Armour headquarters, while enjoying narrated commentary. Snacks or beverages purchased on board are at the traveler's own expense.
Fort McHenry National Monument And Historic Shrine

Passing by

Pass by the historic star-shaped ramparts of Fort McHenry, best known as the birthplace of the United States national anthem. While the cruise does not dock or go ashore at the monument, travelers will enjoy excellent photo opportunities from the water while learning how the fort's defense during the War of 1812 inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." Dress warmly or bring a light jacket, as breeze on the open water can feel cool during the 45-minute journey.
