Tampa’s First Luxury Dinner Cruise Begins In March
If cruising Tampa’s scenic water views and luxurious dining sounds like your kind of night, you’re in luck. Craft Cruises is bringing the first-ever luxury dinner cruise to Tampa Bay and you won’t want to miss it.
What is The Craft Experience?
Craft is the first ship to be specifically designed for Tampa Bay waterways and will take off on its first cruise on March 8th at Channelside Drive. The boat has taken a low-profile approach drawing inspiration from the riverboats in Europe. Guests are set to experience some of Tampa’s best views with less than 11 inches of vertical clearance to pass beneath many low bridges on the river.
Craft isn’t your average river cruise. This multi-million dollar ship features America’s first river cruiser with gas cooking and an open kitchen. The “Bow & Stern Bar” onboard features a 1914 wooden vintage cruiser to give guests a truly unique experience.
Chef Allison Beasman has carefully crafted the menu options of this luxury dinner cruise to provide a blend of American fusion and tradition. Chef Allison Beasman is a Tampa native and says, “There is so much that can be learned about a culture from its food including: ingredients, spices, terrain, cooking equipment and techniques. I’m inspired by the concept of CRAFT … The whole idea is represented by one word, and I love that.”
What does the Craft luxury dinner cruise cost and what is included?
