The cruise will be discounted at $22 per person. This includes one free drink (beer, wine, water or soft drink) and the 2.5 hour cruise. There will be a fully stocked cash bar throughout the duration of the cruise. You will also be able to enjoy confectionery delights from "The Cupcake Dreamery" while cruising the Genesee.

You will have the option to sit inside the boat or on the upper uncovered deck. You will be able to move freely around the boat throughout the cruise. The Mary Jemison has two restrooms for your convenience. Please note this is a smoke free vessel.
