Sightseeing cruises are boat trips designed to showcase scenic views and landmarks along rivers, lakes, or coastlines. These cruises often provide guided commentary, allowing passengers to learn about the history and significance of the sights they see, such as famous buildings, natural landscapes, or cultural sites. Typically lasting from a few hours to a full day, sightseeing cruises cater to tourists and locals alike. They can vary in style, from large vessels accommodating many passengers to smaller boats offering a more intimate experience. Many cruises also provide amenities like refreshments and seating for comfort during the journey.
