The nightly dinner cruise lasts 2 hours and is narrated by one of our Captains, all of whom are extremely knowledgeable about the history and lore of Lake Sunapee and surrounding area.
The M.V. Sunapee Lake Queen features two decks of enclosed dining and an open-air walkway around the top deck. Take your pick of location to sip on a refreshing cocktail as you cruise out of Sunapee Harbor, taking in the beautiful New Hampshire scenery. As you dine on a delicious buffet dinner, you will learn about the sites and history of the lake. If nature cooperates, you may even see one of our phenomenal sunsets.
Whether you are looking for a unique evening out, celebrating something special, or returning to the lake year after year, it’s truly a magnificent experience. The cruise provides for great photo opportunities with amazing sunsets, lighthouses and mountain views. You may want to bring a light jacket or sweater aboard the cruise as it is sometimes breezy on the lake.
Reservations are highly recommended as we do routinely sell out, especially on weekends. Please make a reservation online.
