Enjoy a sightseeing dinner cruise along the Potomac River and Washington, DC’s beautiful waterfront, departing from Gangplank Marina at 600 Water Street SW. This excursion covers the Potomac River with fascinating views of DC’s famous monuments and the city's historic waterfront.
The Odyssey is a modern dining ship with three exquisitely decorated glass atrium dining rooms, offering amazing river views of the nation's greatest monuments from every table. These inner dining areas offers plenty of comfortable seating with large picture windows to see the sites. There is also an open-air observation deck (reminiscent of the European canal ships) and dance floors.
The Captain and crew greet the guests as they arrive and the ship's photographer will record the moment for each party, if desired.
For the 3-course dinner, there is a tasting trio, entrees and desserts. To begin, choose from roasted summer vegetable salad, rock shrimp spheres or whipped goat cheese. The entrees include crab and mussel gratin, Romesco crust salmon, maple mustard glazed chicken, braised short rib, cauliflower steak or steak and lobster tail (additional charge). For dessert, there’s duo of sorbet, Odyssey signature bread pudding, mountain berry shortcake or chocolate decadent cake.
After eating, dance the night away to live music. The evening begins with softer standards before shifting to more high-energy dance music after dinner.
Throughout the cruise, enjoy stunning views of the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Reagan National Airport, the United States Naval Research Laboratory, Old Town Alexandria in Virginia, the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge and much more.

Joelle’s Best birthday ever!
Joelle_D, June 2023
The music and the dancing
Siting outside while the bait was moving
Everyone is les was very happy and there were a few charming couples like ourselves having a good time. It really felt good
What a time!
Desiree_N, May 2023
STAFF was EXCELLENT, made it an overall GREAT experience. The music was great and everyone was friendly
Food Mediocre. No "Tour." Not Worth the Price.
Keenan_R, May 2023
The server was friendly, but the food was mediocre. The DJ music was deafeningly loud and did not fit the demographic of the audience. "Tour" was non-existent as there was nothing to describe the sites as you passed by them. Very disappointing.
Wonderful Experience

Extravagant Episode of our life
Jose_G, May 2023
Everything was perfect! the food, DJ, ride on the river, everyone that worked on that cruise to make sure we had a great night and my Reigna I was with!
Very bad experience
Edgar_B, May 2023
We were given a wrong time of departure and we missed the boat after we paid over $900, and the bday party that we had as a surprise was ruined. We didn’t get reimbursed, neither we were offered another boat ride. Very bad experience, this will be going everywhere on social media, so that people are aware, and know what to expect
Not a good experience
Rosalyn_M, May 2023
The boat ride itself was nice but the service was not good. Ill waiter was nice (Will). The food was very skimpy and the drinks we ordered took for ever. The DJ could have been much livelier.
The boat staff waited for...
Elizabeth_M, May 2023
The boat staff waited for us when we were running late due to traffic. Our waitress was very nice and helpful
A good time
Tonya_P, May 2023
The service and food were absolutely amazing! The DJ played oldies - which didn’t cater to all crowds so that was a bit of a miss. The sites were great and the DJ did a good job of making sure that patrons saw the key sites along the way.
Fun Cruise
Bahar_H, May 2023
Good Dining Service, Good Viewing, Right on time boarding, Fun Dj’s, We had Good Time and Nice Experience
