The people running this thing try really hard to make it something special. The area of river it has to operate in is pretty limited but the view is OK. More

My wife and I went on a dinner cruise. I don't recall being particularly impressed by either the food or the ride, so we haven't been back More

The cruise only goes up the Susquehanna River about 1/2 mile and then turns around. It is very slow to make the journey however, if that would help justify the money you spend on the cruise. More

The Riverboat is located across from downtown Harrisburg with a beautiful view of the city. In addition, the Susquehanna is one of the widest and prettiest rivers in North America. More

We went on a Murder Mystery Dinner Cruise and had a BLAST! The food and entertainment were great, and at the end we were able to enjoy the river from the top of the boat. AWESOME! More

I went with a friend shortly after moving to Harrisburg. There was a jazz band playing before and during the cruise. Food and drinks were slightly over priced but overall a fun experience. I would consider going again next summer. More

Have a picture of beer and hand made sandwiches and look outside. The Captain will be by and talk about olden times and the coal of PA... More

I took a group on the Pride of the Susquehanna on Sunday, October 9, 2011. It was a beautiful day and a nice scenic ride. The group enjoyed the tour. Unfortunately, since it was their off season, I had to pay 3 times the price per person as normal. However, I would recommend this boat experience to others. Ernie Dale,... More

We were not given the window table assignment that I had requested three times prior to our arrival that day, and the chicken kabobs entree... More
