New York City's full moon dinner cruise features a buffet dinner, live entertainment, and a route that showcases some of the city's most prominent landmarks, including the Empire State Building, Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty. The grand dinner buffet features a salad station as well as a featured chef's salad. Diners can enjoy herb-marinated pork tenderloin or rosemary roast beef on the carving station, or entrees of chicken fontina, salmon mediterranean or pasta primavera a la vodka. Sides include garlic smashed potatoes, buttered green beans or a local vegetable medley. Dessert is either a chocolate mousse truffle or New York-style lemoncello cheesecake.
Entertainment Cruises' full moon dinner cruise in Philadelphia features the same menu as New York City's. The cruise route visits a number of major historic sights in the City of Brotherly Love, including Penn's Landing, Shot Tower, Old Swede's Church, The Philadelphia Sports Complex, The Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Red Bank Battlefield, Walt Whitman Bridge, Ben Franklin Bridge, Old Christ's Church, and The Flagship Olympia, and also features picturesque views of the Philadelphia skyline.
Chicago's full moon dinner cruise features a three-course menu as the ship cruises south along the Lake Michigan shore past the Adler Planetarium before heading north into Montrose Harbor and docking at Navy Pier. The Chicago skyline is in full view the entire cruise, including Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower) and John Hancock Building. The first course features mojito shrimp cocktail, carmelized duck en croute, mixed greens with apples and strawberries, lobster bisque or a seafood melange. The main course offers maple-glazed chipotle chicken, Argentinean salmon, filet mignon, seafood ravioli gratinee, mushroom-braised short ribs or roasted vegetable Napoleon. The dessert course features a New York-style cheesecake, chocolate truffle torte, peach and blueberry crisp or bread pudding.
The Washington, DC full moon dinner cruise sails along the Potomac River in a specially designed ship meant to pass beneath the city's bridges. Views of prominent monuments are available from each table. The three-course menu is similar to the Chicago cruise but substitutes a shrimp and corn chowder instead of the lobster bisque during the first course, and adds a bourbon and peach-glazed pork tenderloin to the entree menu. The dessert course omits the bread pudding in favor of a chef's special dessert as well as a selection of fresh fruit.
