    Not very exciting, travels up river for 30 minutes and 15 minutes back. They do have an interesting talk that plays during part of the ride. The flags on the side of the boat are distracting from the view and the interior is dated. Luckily it was a nice day and we could enjoy the weather from the bow and the top deck by the stern.

    My wife and I took the Thursday evening jazz cruise and enjoyed the river and good music. Drinks were served at the bar. If you are expecting a narrative of what you are seeing, the jazz cruise doesn't offer that because of the music, but the crew was able to tell us what some (not all) of the things were that we were curious about. Very enjoyable evening overall. Highly recommend it!

    Awesome Boat ride and lots of information about the great Susquehanna River. A must do if in the area. We booked our tickets in advance but can get them at the location too. There are drinks and snacks available on board. Parking is tricky keep on driving the loopty loop till you see parking for boat ride and don't park far away. Overall great experience and will be back.

    We drove from Strasburg, VA to experience this and I am so glad we did. It was very relaxing and my son and I enjoyed the view very much! I wish it was longer but honestly it was perfect! I will be recommending this to all of my friends and I would also love to come back with my boyfriend! 10/10.

    I thought it was great. My senior citizen mother and young grandchildren enjoyed it. It was a very relaxing ride where we learned a lot of history we had not known previously. The price was reasonable considering everything involved. I also like the fact that there were refreshments and a restroom on board. When it became too hot we could go inside to cool down.

    Fun ride on the river. Great view of the city skyline and mountains. The river is beautiful. The ship is week maintained and clean and City Island is a nice way to spend an afternoon.

    A great Harrisburg experience. Very awesome when done at sunset. It just can't be beat. I haven't done the dinner cruise, but that is on my list for sure. I absolutely recommend doing a cruise in the evening. The sunset cruise rocks! There is nothing like the Pride rolling down the Susquehanna with the sun setting as the backdrop. It makes for some romantic pictures. It's amazing that we have this great attraction to ourselves in Harrisburg. It's a great experience.

    The ride on the water was so much fun! My kids all enjoyed it greatly even though they acted like teenagers, we all went to Cafe Huey right by the dock and got burgers and bacon-cheese fries and it was the best! I can't recommend it enough, it's a great experience!

    It was nice. This is my second ride on the cruise. The first was for an All White Party (clothing) an ex coworker of mine threw a few years back. The second was the Juneteenth 2023 cruise. The guest speakers and the live entertainment was delightful. My only disappointment was the refreshments and the worker that was tending to the spread. I watched her touch every single cookie and cake that she placed on the table with her bare hands. No gloves and no sanitizer in sight. That was disgusting and unprofessional to say the least.

    Very relaxing fun experience. Captain and crew were welcoming and friendly. Music venue was relaxing and fun. We went on the sightseeing tour with music provided. Make sure you don't go on a game night! Parking for the dock shares a roadway with the stadium.

    This is a must do if your visiting the city. The boat is charming and the staff is really friendly. They have a bar on board for drinks and snacks. You can get a very nice view of a charming city. The only criticism would be to raise the volume on the speakers when the history sections of the tour is going on as it was hard to hear and that was the most interesting part.

    My husband and I had an amazing time. We met some very friendly ladies. I would have liked more time on the upper deck. But all in all wine on Wednesday is a hit

    Another enjoyable and relaxing short cruise up and down the river.

  • 5/5 Bryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    SUCH a great little adventure!!! The crew was so humble and servant hearted! We had a great time! The kids were just so happy to be there, my two year old even afterward remarked "I went on a boat. That was fun." I HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking a trip on the Pride of the Susquehanna! Great food! Great fall vegetables!

    This only Boat ride is a memorable and historical visit on river Susquehanna. Staff are friendly, their service is good too. The music as well as food is good. The view of the Capitol is enjoyable from the mid point of the river. Most enjoyable during summer.

    A pleasant , relaxing boat ride which is cost affective , scenic with friendly staff and fair pricing. A must see for the residents of central Pennsylvania

  • 5/5 Bryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    What a wonderful night! The crew was so amazing and willing to serve - kept reminding everyone, "if you need ANYTHING please ask!" We had a great time! Kids loved it, they got a little tired but it was a good time for sure! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    We had a wonderful time. The ship, crew, volunteers, catering and actors is what brought us back from our first time last year and we will definitely be back again.

  • 5/5 Mary Z. 10 months ago on Google
    Very enjoyable experience! It was very informative and relaxing and the crew was very nice and answered everyone’s questions! You can tell they enjoy their jobs!

  • 5/5 Dana S. 10 months ago on Google
    This was such a great time. I took my parents and children- all ages loved this! The crew was extremely professional. The lower level was decked out with parlor chairs and had a full service bar and snack area. The views were fantastic. We went on the basic 45 minute trip and plan to go back for a longer trip next time.

    A glorious ride on a tiny riverboat. Dinner was okay, but my whole meal was ice cold, along with my best friends meal. Our husbands meals were hot. Not the river boats fault but the fall foliage didn't exist. That was kinda funny, all in all it was okay.

  • 5/5 Chris F. 10 months ago on Google
    We had a great time on the pride of the Susquehanna River boat! The mystery murder dinner cruise was a blast! We highly recommend to add to your to do list!!! Excellent service! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Brad W. 4 years ago on Google
    Dinner cruise was great. Murder mystery and a meal. Staff was fantastic. The show was entertaining and energetic. The food.. Average. Go for the show and make sure you send time on the top deck. The night is beautiful in the river.

    Had not been on the Pride for years, with the exception of the rain and some guy slipped and fell on the upper deck, it was an enjoyable short ride.

    Are you kidding me? A river boat ride on our Susquehanna River on the riverboat with the Steve Rudolph Trio, on one of the most beautiful evenings all year has got to be the absolute best way to spend an evening in the Harrisburg area. I can think of no better event anywhere more enjoyable.

  • 4/5 Beverly C. 9 months ago on Google
    It was so pretty and the crew was nice but I couldn’t hear any of the tour. The people on the boat were far too loud. It would be nice to have another way to listen.

  • 5/5 CINDY L. 2 years ago on Google
    We so enjoyed the wine/ cheese tour. Loved the woman who shared her knowledge of cheese & the pairing of the wines with cheese. Fun date night!
