The Boat will be located by the old Joe Louis Arena due to Coast Guard regulations and will be stationary all evening. The Detroit River is closed to all vessel traffic and the only way the Detroit Princess can be any closer to the fireworks, than a mile away at Belle Isle, is to remain dockside. The advantage of this is you will have the absolute closest seats of any venue in Detroit; the fireworks will be exploding basically right above your head during this spectacular fireworks extravaganza! 

We recommend being here earlier rather then later as the freeways coming into the city get very congested and most roads do close sometime around 6pm. At the point you cannot get to the parking lot near the boat you will need to park wherever and make your way on foot.

 

All passengers have to be on board by 8:30pm, as the Coast Guard and the Police Department will not allow anyone to be on the Riverwalk after this time. You may have to park on surface streets somewhere west of the city and walk in once they shut the roads getting to the river. 

Outside seating for everyone during the fireworks, inside seating during dinner and to enjoy the entertainment. What better place to enjoy the fireworks then in air-conditioned comfort right up until they explode! 

This is a long evening aboard and due to city police regulations that night, passengers that board will be on for the duration so we do not encourage bringing children. If you opt to bring a child, all children/infants require a ticket for this evening.
