  • 5Enjoyable cruise

    This was a fun cruise. The music was great as was the crew/captain. We saw much of the port which to me was fascinating.

  • 4Short but sweet

    Great experience. I thought it said 7-9. It was more like 7-8:20. So while the cruise was nice/entertaining, I expected it to be a little longer.

  • 4pleasant boat ride

    The boat was smaller than expected but not overly crowded. Bar prices somewhat high. Would suggest Corona beer and Knob Creek whiskey. Music was ok.

About Wilmington

Wilmington is a historic port city on the Cape Fear River in North Carolina, with a brick riverfront, live oak-lined streets and beaches nearby.

Wilmington stands on the Cape Fear River in south-eastern North Carolina, a few kilometres from the Atlantic. Its historic district preserves streets of nineteenth-century houses shaded by live oaks, and a riverwalk runs along the waterfront past shops, cafés and docks. The Battleship North Carolina, a Second World War warship, is moored across the river as a museum.

Top-ranked sights in Wilmington: Battleship North Carolina, Airlie Gardens.
