The Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat is an authentic stern-driven paddlewheel riverboat built in 1988 as a community service project to benefit the Central Pennsylvania region. The Pride of the Susquehanna is operated by the Harrisburg Area Riverboat Society whose mission is to increase tourism, facilitate economic development, and provide education on the history and ecology of the Susquehanna River.

The Pride of the Susquehanna season runs from May through October with 45-minute Public Sightseeing Cruises occurring from Memorial Day until Labor Day at 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM, and 3 PM on weekdays and 12 PM, 1 PM, 2 PM and 3 PM on weekends. Fall public cruises after Labor Day through the end of October occur at 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM on weekends only. (Schedules are subject to change; call or see online calendar for exact schedule). You can enjoy snacks, ice cream, candy, soda, beer, wine during these sightseeing cruises. Reservations not required and tickets can be purchased online or at the Ticket Booth above the dock. All cruises board 15 minutes prior to departure.

The Pride of the Susquehanna also has Music Cruises, including our popular Jazzin' on the Pride, Classic Dinner Cruises, Sunset Dinner Cruises, Murder Mystery Dinner Cruises, Wine on Wednesdays, Princess and Superhero Cruises and much more! The Susquehanna River School, our floating educational tour teaches children, adults, and seniors about the history, ecology, and environment of the Susquehanna River and our region is held on Saturday mornings. All the previous cruises require advanced reservations that can be made by calling our office or by making reservations online!

Groups: You can also privately charter the Pride for your wedding (very popular wedding spot!), parties, business functions, anniversaries, family and church picnics, corporate meetings, fundraisers, charity events, group team building, and pretty much everything else! The Riverboat is also available for schools, bus, or group tours/cruises. Email for additional information as dates fill up quickly!
