With its youthful, end-of-the-week vibe, the Friday afternoon Happy Hour Cruise(http://www.waterwayscruises.com/pages/public_cruises/dining_cruises/cocktail_cruises/) lets guests enjoy a lavish Chef’s Taco Bar while taking in all the sights.

We invite people of all ages not only to relax and view the sights in comfort, but to enjoy excellent food, outstanding service and the informative storytelling of our ships’ captains. Each cruise is an unforgettable trip.”
