River District Canal Cruises open for the 2010 season!

Enjoy learning about the James River, the George Washington-designed Kanawha Canal and Richmond Region history during this historically-narrated tour in authentic flat-bottomed boats.

Join Richmond Canal Cruises for an informative 40-minute historically narrated tour or private charter of the James River and Kanawha Canal along Richmond's Historic Canal Walk in a covered boat, which accommodates up to 38 passengers and departs on the hour from the Turning Basin, between 14th and Dock streets on Virginia Street. Richmond's canal system first started in 1789 after George Washington lobbied the General Assembly to proceed with his vision of a canal and turnpike system that would connect the harbors of the east to the trade and market opportunities west, all the way to the Rocky Mountains.

The Jewel of Hampton:  Miss Hampton II Cruises

In my opinion this is one of Virginia's most unique and exciting nautical experiences! First, you'll depart from the historic downtown Hampton waterfront for a three-hour tour around historical lighthouses, Civil War battlefields and the Norfolk Naval Base. Your Miss Hampton II Harbor Cruise takes you past some of Virginia's most memorable landmarks. You'll start by sailing down the Hampton River and around Black Beards Point. Your nautical adventure continues through Hampton Road Harbor where John Smith and the first English settlers founded Jamestown. Next you'll see the Norfolk Naval base filled with battleships and submarines. You'll return to the Hampton Harbor while listening to captivating stories of famous nautical battles. I left feeling the staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
