Spirit of Philadelphia Lunch Cruise

Enjoy refreshment and relaxation on the Spirit of Philadelphia Lunch Cruise on the Delaware River. There is no hotel pick-up, please make your way to the departure point at Penn’s Landing. Directions for getting there are given under Additional Information.

To obtain your boarding pass please present your voucher and photo ID at the activity operator’s ticket desk at the dockside. Boarding begins 30 minutes before sailing time. Make sure you arrive in good time so you can settle down comfortably to enjoy the trip.

A keepsake photo of you and your party will be taken upon boarding, so go ahead and smile for the camera! (You can decide to purchase or not, when you dock.)

Welcoming staff will greet and seat you, and take your drink orders (payable direct). Please note that many tables are designed for cabaret-style seating with other guests, reminiscent of ocean-going cruises. Feel free to get up and explore the ship – especially the outdoor strolling decks.

As the Spirit of Philadelphia pulls away from the dock, grab your streamers and drinks and join in a festive ‘Bon Voyage’ toast.

Once you’ve been invited up to the Grande Buffet, help yourself to whatever you like. You can even go back for seconds and thirds as long as the buffet is open!

The menu may vary from time to time but below is an example of the delicious fare you can expect to enjoy:

Menu subject to change.

While you dine, you will be entertained with a fascinating narrated tour of Philadelphia’s skyline, which can be clearly seen through the huge panoramic windows.

Throughout the cruise, Spirit’s staff will dazzle you with impressive renditions of your favorite tunes. Sit back, relax and enjoy the talent.

When lunch is over, why not stretch your legs? Head topside for the largest outdoor patio deck in Philadelphia and catch a breath of fresh air and an amazing view. Or hit the dance floor – from line dances to Top-40 hits, Spirit’s DJs know how to get everyone up and dancing, right to the end of your cruise.

Your 2-hour cruise ends at around 2:00pm and you will be dropped back at the starting point.
