About The Cruise

Where does the ship go?
The ship sails past several historic and National sites on its way to and from Mount Vernon. Review our Potomac River Sights page >>>

Are there any age requirements?
No. Our Mount Vernon Cruises are open to every age from babies to senior citizens.

Is the ship handicap accessible?
Yes, our ship is handicap accessible. If you are using a wheelchair, you must arrive by 8am for special boarding. More details >>>

What is your smoking policy?
All interior areas of our ship are non-smoking areas. Passengers who enjoy smoking may do so on the outdoor observation decks.

Will my cell phone work on the cruise?
Yes, your cell phone will work on the cruise. For the comfort of other guests, we ask that cell phone conversations be held on the outside decks.

Can I get to the ship using the metro?
Yes. Take the Green Line/Waterfront Metro. Our ship is approximately a 5-minute walk from the station. Just walk down M Street, turn left on 6th Street and go one block. Turn left on Water Street and Spirit Cruises will be directly in front of you.

Do I need a reservation?
Reservations are recommended but walk-ups are always welcome as space allows. Parties of 19 or fewer are often able to walk up and purchase tickets on the day of a cruise, but only if space is available. Groups of 20 or more should always make reservations in advance.

What number should I call to make reservations?

      Individuals call: (866) 302-2469

      For groups of 20 or more call: (202) 554-8013
      Monday - Friday between 8:30am - 5:30pm (EST)

How far in advance should I make reservations?
If you're planning for a large group, call us as soon as possible. A few months will make it easier to accommodate all of your preferences. Of course, reservations can be made right up to the day of the cruise, provided there is space available. We also welcome walk-ups as space allows.

Which credit cards are accepted?
We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Diner's Club.

Can I make reservations by phone and pay at the ship?
No. For individual parties, payment is required in full at the time of the reservation. We accept major credit cards, traveler's checks, money orders, certified checks and cash.

Where can I mail a check or money order?
Our mailing address is:

Spirit Cruises
