Washington by Water Monuments Cruise/Water Taxi

Behold the splendor of America's monuments and the city of Washington aboard a narrated cruise on the Potomac River. Passengers can purchase one-way or roundtrip tickets. Stopovers are allowed with roundtrip tickets, so there is time to shop, dine, sightsee or attend a cultural event in either Alexandria or Georgetown, then board a later cruise returning to the original departure point. Sunset, evening and moonlight tours of the illuminated monuments are especially popular. Locals and out of town visitors appreciate the convenience of not having to find parking for personal vehicles and rental cars. Most enjoy the pace and the beauty of the river and its unique views of Washington, D.C.

Cruise Highlights:

Washington's majestic monuments, landmarks, buildings and bridges -- the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, to name a few. Depart from the quaint and historic seaport of Old Town Alexandria with its cobblestone streets or world-famous Georgetown with its upscale shops, pubs, and restaurants. Each leg of the cruise is approximately 45 minutes long and the narration is divided evenly between the two departure locations.
