Magic Night Dinner Cruises

Cliff the Magic Man is back on Thursday evenings with a special magic show to entertain the whole family.  Our intimate dining area offers you an up close magic experience as objects vanish before your very eyes.  This two hour cruise includes the Down Home Chicken Dinner with mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, vegetable and a biscuit, at a special family friendly price.  The price for the dinner cruise is $25 for adults, $17 for children ages 3 to 10, kids 2 and under FREE with a paying adult.

Friday Night Dinner Theater Cruises

On Fridays throughout the summer, we welcome you aboard the Wilderness Queen for dinner and an all new play.   This year’s performance is “Murder Ahoy”, a quick witted comedy set on a cruise ship.  But when romance ends and a rich, spoiled fiance is found murdered the mystery begins.  The eccentric cast of characters brought to you by the talented actors from Northern Lights Playhouse, will have you laughing from the start as you try to solve this “who done it”. 

Boarding starts 30 minutes prior to departure, with the actors in the waiting area mingling with you prior to the cruise. You’ll have time to order drinks, visit the upper and lower deck, and catch some of our beautiful surroundings before we set sail.  Your meal is served shortly after cruise departure and you may even find a special guest at your table!  Champagne Chicken is the main entree, served with potatoes or rice, vegetable, garden salad and rolls.   The play will begin on the lower deck, shortly after dinner.  Rates for the Friday night show are $45 for adults.  Matinee performances may also be added on Friday afternoons.  Check the schedule for availability, menu and rates.
