Evening Dinner Cruise

WELCOME ABOARD

Baltimore's famous Inner Harbor is the home of the Bay Lady. Cruising year round with two fully enclosed climate controlled decks, and an open air top deck which offers a panoramic view of Baltimore's Harbor, is a tradition since 1981. You will enjoy a narrated tour as we pass such sights as The World Trade Center, The National Aquarium, Federal Hill, and Fort McHenry while cruising down the Patapsco River.
