Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Scenic Bay Cruise?

A: No specific age limit, but kids of all ages have enjoyed the cruise! Just keep in mind that younger kids should be supervised, especially on the upper deck. It’s a relaxing experience but can get windy up there. Also, it’s good to have life jackets for kids, just in case—they have some on board too.

Q: What should I wear for the cruise? Is it cold on the water?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly out on the water, especially if you’re up on the top deck. A light jacket or sweater is a good idea. Also, wear comfy shoes since you’ll be walking around a bit. The boat does have a cozy salon if you need to warm up!

Q: Can I bring my own drinks on board?

A: Unfortunately, you can't bring your own drinks due to their policy. But don’t worry, they have a nice selection at the onboard bar! You can sip on something as you enjoy the views. Plus, it’s all pretty reasonably priced for a cruise!

Just booked the Scenic Bay Cruise—any tips?

I just got tickets for the Scenic Bay Cruise from Newport for my partner’s birthday! 🎉 I’m super excited! We’re planning to go on a Saturday afternoon. Any tips on the best spots to sit or things to bring? Also, what’s the best drink at the bar?

Just went on the cruise last weekend—amazing!

I recently went on the Scenic Bay Cruise and wow, what a great experience! The views of the harbor were stunning, and the narration was super informative. We even spotted some seals near the shore! Just a heads up, be ready for some wind if you're on the top deck. Definitely worth it!
