Lady Katharine Cruises

Lady Katharine Cruises is in the business of hosting memory-making events.  “Everything is better on the water” is their promise and the Connecticut River Valley is their venue.  “The Mystique” is the company’s star.  She is a picture-perfect dinner cruise vessel that can entertain up to 300 guests in elegance and style offering Sunday Brunch, Entertainment Cruises, Jazz Cruises, both for lunch and for sunset cruises.  Each deck features its own full service bar and food service area. Aboard the Mystique, passengers can discover the exhilarating combinations of magnificent vistas and attentive service that defines luxury and pleasure.  All meals are prepared aboard the boat and the 5 star results are the reason the Mystique is considered one of the best restaurants in Connecticut.  The Sunday Brunch Buffet has become a favorite of the public cruises but there are also Lunch, Dinner and Entertainment Cruises as well as Sunset Jazz lunch and sunset cruises.  Lady Kate Cruises’ Ports of Call are primarily Hartford’s two docks, Charter Oak Landing and Mortensen Riverfront Plaza.  Cruises run from early Spring through the Fall Foliage season into the holidays, ending with a New Year’s Eve Gala and fireworks show.  The cruise line’s ships are fully enclosed, climate controlled for comfort and U.S. Coast Guard Certified.
