The Pride of the Susquehanna
3 reviews for The Pride of the Susquehanna
This is a great sightseeing visit to take guests of the Harrisburg area when you don't know what to do with them. Most people like the river view and this is the best way to see it. The Pride of the Susquehanna is a older style riverboat in vain of the gambling boats you always see on the Mississippi. It has the flipping circular wheel to steer the boat and 2 levels to enjoy the ride. The boat travels up and down the susquehanna to the Harrisburg border but not all the way down to TMI or anything, for about a 30 minute ride.
It is usually a smooth ride where you can sit back and relax, let the wind blow in your hair and look at Harrisburg from the outside, asking yourself why it looks so much cooler as a skyline then when actually downtown.
Tuesday through Sundays the boat leaves from City Island at 1:30pm and 3pm. The fare is $7 for an adult, $6 for a senior and $4 for children-- a great price to see Harrisburg from a different view. They also have private dinner cruises including mystery murder dinner cruise, italian buffet cruise, classic style dinner cruise, etc. Check the website for more info.

We had the chance to ride on the Pride of the Susquehanna this past weekend. Adult admission is 7.00 and children who are age 3 - 12 are only 3.00 dollars each. There is an enclosed inner deck, which is where they serve meals and have entertainment, then there also is the upper deck, part of which has a awning and chairs and the other half is exposed. E.G. hit the review right on. There are events including a murder-mystery, Jazzin' on the Pride and the Riverboat School. The trip is about 25 minutes long, you go up underneath the Wade Bridge, turn and come back. It's nice to be able to see some of those small islands in the river close up, and its great to take pictures against Harrisburgs skyline. http://www.harrisburgr.../

A great addition to Harrisburg, the riverboat is really worth experiencing. In addition to all the details listed by E G., you can now enjoy jazz on the deck of the pride Thursdays for happy hour while it is docked on the Harrisburg shore. The dinner cruise is a little pricier than the average date but its a very nice evening.
