Sightseeing Cruises Miami by Island Queen Cruises

There is truly no better way to experience Miami than by taking a sightseeing cruise by Island Queen Cruises. They operate the best sightseeing cruise in Miami by far.

Certainly, you will first notice the many times of their departures. They leave every hour on the hour from 11am to 7pm and will even set sail whether they have 2 people or 140 passengers, the limit. This is tough to accomplish in any city, especially with the cost of fuel being so high. Yet, they do it 7 days a week and 365 days a year. We noticed this because we missed our first cruise and took the next available cruise at 5pm.

Next, we noticed that all of Island Queen Cruises' boats are clean and new! Many cities around the world have sightseeing cruises but usually there boats are old. I was surprised when the captain mentioned there boat, the Miami Lady was built this year. Can you believe it was born in 2008?

You really get to experience Miami by being on a boat. We cruised through Biscayne Bay, passing the beautiful homes and tall, luxury condos. It is truly spectacular. During our cruise we got to see the entire Miami skyline, the Port of Miami with both the cruise ships and cargo districts, an island called Fisher Island and Millionaire's Row or Star Island. This is where Gloria Estefan and P Diddy live.

The cruise was great and we even picked up a DVD about the history of Miami. The DVD has other areas of interest that we weren't able to see.
