The Odyssey is a modern dining ship with three superbly furnished glass atrium dining salons, each with spectacular river views of the nation’s most famous buildings. There is lots of comfortable seating in these interior dining spaces, as well as wide picture windows with views of the sights. There’s also a dancing floor and an open-air observation deck (reminiscent of European canal ships).

When the guests arrive, the Captain and crew will greet them, and the ship’s photographer will capture the event for each party if desired. A tasting trio, entrees, and desserts are included in the 3-course evening. Choose from roasted summer vegetable salad, rock shrimp spheres, or whipped goat cheese as a starter. Crab and mussel gratin, fish with a Romesco crust, maple mustard glazed chicken, braised short rib, cauliflower steak or steak, and lobster tail are among the courses (additional charge). There’s a sorbet pair, Odyssey specialty bread pudding, mountain berry shortcake, or chocolate decadent cake for dessert.

After you’ve finished dining, go out and dance the night away to live music. After supper, the evening begins with gentler standards before transitioning to more high-energy dance music. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Reagan National Airport, the US Naval Research Laboratory, Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge, and much more throughout the cruise.
