Step-by-step itinerary

Bottomless Mimosa Brunch Cruise

• Take commemorative boarding photo

• Enjoy buffet of appetizers, entrees, salads, desserts
• Drink unlimited mimosas and beverages
• Listen to onboard DJ entertainment

The experience

The boat leaves Gangplank Marina after a quick boarding photo, and the first move is to pick a table in one of the three climate-controlled dining rooms or step onto the observation deck to watch the boat cast off. The buffet opens once you're underway: appetizers, entrees, salads and desserts rotate through the galley, and you return to your table to eat. Unlimited mimosas come with the ticket (you'll need a valid ID showing you're 21 or older), along with coffee, hot tea and iced tea. The DJ plays throughout the cruise.

Two hours gives you time to move between the dining rooms, spend a stretch on the outdoor observation decks watching the Potomac and the landmarks along it, and come back for another round from the buffet. The boat returns to Gangplank Marina with your boarding photo ready to buy on the way out. Dressy-casual attire is required (no jeans, shorts, tank tops or gym shoes), and all interior areas are non-smoking, though you can smoke on the outdoor decks.

Is this one for you?Two hours is short enough to fit into a morning or early afternoon without blocking the rest of your day, but long enough to move through the buffet more than once and spend time on both the indoor dining rooms and the outdoor decks watching the river.
