Behold the splendor of America's monuments and the city of Washington aboard a narrated cruise on the Potomac River. 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.

Cruise highlights include 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.
