Specialty Cruises – All Season Long!

PXL_20240724_195324922.MP

Specialty cruises provide an opportunity to choose from a variety of experiences on our waterways. While we continue to host our regular narration cruises to give all passengers information on our historic waterways, we also present options on board to enjoy the waterways from a different perspective.

Our specialty cruises this season range from birding cruises, live music cruises, arts & culture cruises, lunch cruises, sunset cruises, kids cruises, cider & donut cruises, and more!

Our birding cruises feature Randi and Nic Minetor, two very knowledgeable birders in the area! Randi is the president of the Rochester Birding Association, and she writes for North American Birds and Birding magazines. Both Randi and Nic have written and published many birding books together. We have a few more birding cruises left for the season!

Join us for these very popular birding cruises.
