Marisa Sets Sail! The Spirit Of Philadelphia Celebrates 40 Years

Photo gallery of Marisa’s party cruise celebrating the Spirit of Philadelphia’s 40th anniversary.

Spirit of Philadelphia Marisa HERO

The views from the deck of the of the Spirit of Philadelphia are my favorite in the city. During the two-hour cruise, you see a jaw dropping perspective of the city that is rarely seen.

For over four decades, the Spirit of Philadelphia has been operating from Penn’s Landing. City Cruises Philadelphia is celebrating the 40th anniversary with a lineup of cruises for every occasion. Photos from my latest cruise are posted below!

Imagine seeing the prettiest sites while sipping on a bottomless mimosa and snapping one-of-a-kind images of you and your friends.

That’s just the beginning of the experiences in store during the Signature Brunch Cruise on the Spirit of Philadelphia. You’ll enjoy a delicious chef prepared buffet before hitting the dance floor and taking in the breathtaking views from each one of the multiple decks upon the ship.

Enter to win a Philadelphia Signature Bottomless Mimosa Brunch Cruise for Two aboard the Spirit of Philadelphia (deadline: 5/12)

Did we mention there are multiple bars to hit up while enjoying the skyline views? But that’s not all…

Sure, you’ve traveled across the Ben Franklin Bridge, but have you ever sailed under it? Seeing the architecture up close, so big that you lose the sun for a few moments, is breathtaking.  

I’ll never forget the stunning image of green celebratory touchdown fireworks exploding over The Linc as we cruised by the South Philadelphia Stadium Area. (for the record, it was a pre-season game!).  

Graffiti Pier is another highlight. Reading about it, seeing photos or even visiting the location is one thing. But the big overview from the water is magnificent.  

Unexpected site this year: the Delaware Waterfront construction. You probably know about the Park at Penn's Landing planning that includes a cap going over I95 to connect Old City to the waterfront. Once you board the Spirit of Philadelphia, you will see an elevated view of the progress. It’s wild!

The Spirit of Philadelphia is a three-level yacht-style dining vessel with three interior climate-controlled dining decks and an exterior observation deck. The three decks are appropriately named to reflect the vessel’s namesake - the Ben Franklin deck, the Walt Whitman deck, and the Betsy Ross deck.
