From each of her three climate-controlled glass-atrium dining rooms to the outside deck, Odyssey III offers a delightful setting that begs to be explored. The exquisitely renovated interiors and enticing dance floors capture a distinctive atmosphere reminiscent of the classic ocean liners.

Enjoy your meal to an accompaniment of live music – everything from classic jazz to contemporary favorites; from a five-piece band to soft piano music – that won't end until well after the ship returns to the dock. And, if the music makes you want to get up and dance, there are spacious dance floors available!
The only vessel designed specifically to travel beneath the historic bridges spanning the Potomac, Odyssey offers exclusive river views of the nation's greatest monuments from every dining table. At times when wind and tide conditions prevent navigation to the Kennedy Center and Georgetown, an alternate route south on the Potomac and past historical Old Town Alexandria will be taken.
Below are some of the key landmarks on your route:
Jefferson Memorial: A beautiful columned rotunda, this memorial honors the nation's third president, brilliant statesman, author of the Declaration of Independence and founder of the University of Virginia.
Lincoln Memorial: Built to honor assassinated President Abraham Lincoln, the memorial has 36 Doric columns, one for each state at the time of Lincoln's death.
Washington Monument: Standing 555 feet, the gleaming marble obelisk, known as the Washington Monument, is the city's most visible landmark and the tallest freestanding masonry structure in the world.
Watergate Hotel: Home to the now infamous Scandal in which former CIA employees were caught trying to bug the offices of the Democratic National Committee. Ultimately the scandal forced the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974. Now it is home to a luxury hotel and residential apartments.
Your delightful cruise lasts for 2 hours and ends at around 02:00pm, when you will be dropped back at the starting point.
