Sacramento

Sacramento from a new perspective.

One of the best ways to explore Sacramento is from the gentle Sacramento River. From the riverfront of Old Sacramento to the idyllic scenes to the north, Hornblower’s River Cruises are the perfect way to get out on the water.

Hornblower’s air-conditioned M/V Capitol Hornblower is the best river cruisers on the water. With seating for 200, snacks, full bar and live narration, you won’t find a river experience more fun, or more affordable.

Tickets are just $20 for adults for the one hour adventure (seniors are $18 and children are $10). You can purchase tickets online at hornblower.com or by calling 415-788-7020. The ticket booth at the Hornblower dock also sells tickets – and tickets are often available right up to departure time.

Once on board you’ll settle into your seat and the captain will begin the narration – describing what you see along the river, detailing the history of Hornblower and discussing the developments that have happened around the river. If you find yourself thirsty or hungry the snack bar will have the perfect thing. Hot dogs and nachos will satisfy hunger, as will several other assorted snacks. A full range of soft drinks, ice tea and lemonade are available, as are delicious margaritas, beer and other cocktails.

So when it’s time to escape the heat, escape the daily grind or add a little adventure to your life check out Hornblower’s River Cruise – the greatest ride on the river.
