Design on the Water: Washington DC Architecture Cruise



Get a whole new perspective on the design of the District

Fridays, Sep 20, 2024 - Oct 25, 2024. 6:00 pm

See Washington DC's architectural icons, gain an in-depth understanding of the city's rich and tumultuous history, and enjoy the Federal Capital from a unique vantage point sailing along the Potomac River! 


Casting off from Georgetown with your expert architecture guide from DC Design Tours and professional crew from Capitol River Cruises, your cruise will sail south on the Potomac. With live guided commentary, enjoy views of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and Georgetown Waterfront, sail past Teddy Roosevelt Island, under the Arlington Memorial Bridge, and along the National Mall and Tidal Basin. Passengers will learn all about the area's architectural and historical gems—like the Watergate Hotel, Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Pentagon, and Kennedy Center— and some lesser-known fascinating landmarks, like the C&O Canal, Lyndon Baines Johnson Grove, and Navy-Merchant Marine Memorials from the comfort of a covered boat. Enjoy an evening on the water and experience DC from a different perspective.


What to Bring:
Sturdy shoes, bottled water and comfortable clothes are recommended! Refreshments and snacks are available for purchase, and there are restrooms on-board.


Where to Meet:
Meet your guide and boat at Washington Harbour Georgetown at the west (upriver) end of the dock across from restaurant Fiola Mare.
