Q&A

Q: Is there a dress code for the River Architectural Lunch Cruise?

A: Yes, there's a bit of a dress code to keep the vibe upscale. Smart casual is your best bet—think nice jeans or slacks with a dressy top. No need for formal wear, but you might want to avoid shorts and flip-flops. Just make sure you're comfortable since you'll be seated for a while!

Q: What happens if it rains during the cruise?

A: The cruise will go on rain or shine, as the vessel has a climate-controlled interior deck. You can enjoy the views and stay dry! If it's really bad weather, they may offer rescheduling options, but usually, it’s all good inside.

Q: How early should I arrive for the lunch cruise?

A: It's recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before the cruise starts. This gives you time to check in, find your table, and grab a drink before setting sail. The boarding can get busy, so the earlier, the better!
