Tuesday, May 4, 2021 at 8:36AMVia a May 3rd press release:
The historic Nicollet Island Inn today announced an exclusive and limited-time opportunity to experience the legendary Mississippi River like never before. In partnership with the Minneapolis Water Taxi, the Inn’s Twilight River Cruise and Dinner is available on Friday and Saturday nights from May 14 through October 9 for cruising along the Mississippi River followed by dinner at the Inn.
“There’s something extra special about the Mississippi River in the evening,” said Larry Abdo, Nicollet Island in owner/innkeeper. “In good company with friends or for a special romantic occasion - with a glass of wine, appetizers and dinner – the cruise experience is the perfect way to spend an evening taking in the scenery, serenity and the Minneapolis skyline from a new vantage point.”
The excursion begins at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis, where guests will board a solar-powered electric cruise boat for an hour-long tour of the upper Mississippi above St. Anthony Falls. Picnic baskets containing a pre-selected choice of wine or champagne and hor d’ovures will be provided. Following the cruise, guests will return to the Nicollet Island Inn where an elegant dinner will be served.
Participants can extend the evening’s festivities with an overnight stay in one of the Inn’s boutique hotel rooms, which boast European charm with modern amenities.
The cost for the cruise and dinner varies based on the size of the group, beginning at $275 for a group of 2 (packages available for groups of up to 6). Reservations
