detroit river cruises

Detroit river cruises make a great setting for corporate parties, weddings, social gatherings, graduations, and group tours. Detroit river is one of the busiest international waterways that has historical and scenic sights to see on a cruise.

There are several types of cruises arranged on the Detroit rivers, including moonlight cruises, chartered cruises, and senior outings.

Companies

Typically for river cruises, the companies operating them are a bit smaller, more flexible companies than what you may find the bigger cruise companies operating the international waters to be.

Companies operating cruises on the Detroit river include:

Portofino on the River (portofinoontheriver.com)
Diamond Jack's River Tours (diamondjack.com)

Of these, the Portofino on the River company sails with the ship Friendship, from the Portofino restaurant docks located in downtown Wyandotte.

The Friendship is Coast Guard certified and accommodates up to 120 passengers.

Diamond Jack's River Tours operates the river with the ship Diamond Queen.

The cruise takes two hours (starting from downtown Detroit), and the sights include Detroit skyline, Ambassador bridge (linking the U.S. and Canada), and world-class ocean ships that cruise on the river.
