COVID-19 Guidelines

We are open as of June 6, 2020! Make your plans now to take a cruise on the Spirit of Peoria. Don't miss the boat!

If you cruise with us, then we will truly “all be in the same boat” for a short time. We are doing our best to keep you safe, but we can’t do it all.

Masks...bring them. Wear them when you can't maintain your 6ft bubble.
WASH. YOUR. HANDS... we empty the garbage cans in the restrooms. We know. We know.
Hand sanitizer... we have it on each deck. You still need to wash your hands.
6ft bubble... we can't mark the bubble on every walking surface. It just isn't feasible. Do your best. We spaced the deck seating and have limited the number of chairs outside. Inside seating has been adjusted to so you can maintain your bubble. No, you still can't take inside dining chairs outside.
Please make use of our restrooms to wash your hands.
If you feel sick…stay home. We can reschedule you to another date or issue a gift certificate!
