Take Dad Up the River for Father’s Day

Dad might just enjoy a relaxing Father’s Day Sunday brunch cruise aboard the Odyssey and the Spirit of Washington up the Potomac River along the sites of Washington DC.

The 2-hour brunch cruises offer some gorgeous scenic views of the Washington Monument (map), Fort McNair (map), the Victorian homes along General’s Row in Fort Myer Old Town Alexandria and the Torpedo Factory (map) from the Potomac River.

And guests on board are treated to DJ musical entertainment, dancing and a full all-Dad-can-eat brunch buffet.  The ship’s Father’s Day brunch menu features a few of their signature offerings, including Strawberries and Cream French Toast and the always popular warm chocolate fountain.  Stay inside in air-conditioned comfort or step outside on deck as the sites pass by.

Additional Potomac River cruises, including dinner and cruises up to George Washington’s Mt. Vernon Estate are also available.
