Like Champagne?
How ‘bout free Champagne? There’s not really anything better on a hot summer’s eve. Pair that with a feast of fresh salads, salmon, chicken, pasta, accompaniments and desserts, live performances by your waiters and waitresses, DJ music for showing off those awesome moves and views like you’ve never before seen from Spirit of Philadelphia’s open-air deck – and you’ve got it made.

Kick-back and relax on select Friday nights this summer with a complimentary glass of champagne in hand and the awesome city sights surrounding you as you mingle with loved ones and friends.
All aboard our Friday Champagne Dinner Cruises.

A Note From Our CEO

June 18, 2009 By: ec_admin Category: Entertainment Cruises - National

Michael Higgins - Entertainment CruisesBartender to CEO. I’m living my version of the American Dream. I started out as a young bartender and am now fortunate enough to oversee Entertainment Cruises as CEO. As I enter my 22nd summer season in the Harbor Cruise industry, I find myself even more passionate about the aspects which initially attracted me to this industry back in 1988. The Harbor Cruise business is the fun business from which unforgettable memories are created every day.

Our passengers choose a cruise experience that helps them celebrate all of the special moments of life: an anniversary or birthday, a new product launch, showcasing the city for out-of-town guests, the annual summer church outing, a 20th class reunion – and the list goes on. To play an important role in creating these snapshots of life for our guests is something by which I will always be inspired. Being in the Harbor Cruise business is truly a privilege as Entertainment Cruises continually makes a positive impact on society and in the lives of our guests on each and every cruise.

Even in a challenging economic year like 2009, most of us will still celebrate personal and professional milestones and special occasions. Regardless of the type of celebration, I hope Entertainment Cruises has a chance to help you create unforgettable memories sometime very soon. Whether it be a Saturday Night Fireworks Dinner Cruise, a Speedboat Ride on the Potomac River, a Sunday Brunch Cruise, Architectural Tour down the Chicago River or a close-up view of the world’s most famous symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty, we hope to welcome you aboard one of our 24 unique vessels.

All the best in enjoying a great summer,
Michael
