Seating & tables

How you sit depends on the cruise. A dinner cruise seats you at a reserved table, while sightseeing and sunset cruises have open and covered deck seating. Here is what to expect and how tables are assigned.

Seating on a dinner cruise

  • A reserved table: you have a table for the whole evening, with seating arranged for a good view of the show and the water
  • Shared or private: most packages give you a private table, while solo or very small bookings may be seated together at a shared table
  • Window table: a table by the window for the views, usually offered as an add-on
  • Stage-side table: a table close to the show area, also an add-on on many boats
  • VIP lounge: an upper-deck seating location; this is a seating upgrade and does not always include a different menu

How tables are assigned

The crew assign tables so that everyone gets a good view. If you have a preference, such as a window table, a spot near the stage, or a birthday setup, mention it when you book and we will do our best to arrange it.

Seating on sightseeing and sunset cruises

These cruises have open-deck and covered seating rather than assigned tables, so you can sit where you like. Arrive a little early for the best spot on deck. See when to arrive.
