All Aboard!

The Cherry Blossom sits along the Potomac River in Old Town Alexandria, VA.

It is an authentic split sternwheeler and re-creation of a 19th century Victorian riverboat. Its name was inspired after the Cotton Blossom in the musical “Showboat.”

The Cherry Blossom is one of only six coast guard certified working sternwheelers in the U.S.

Fun Fact: The Former VP of the United States Al Gore and Wife Tipper hosted a dinner on board the Cherry Blossom for the Russian Prime Minister
