Sunset River Cruise

Reserve your complimentary ticket to attend the Sunset River Cruise during Tourism Academy 2026.

Join fellow attendees for a relaxed and festive evening aboard a private yacht from JAX Yacht Charter, beginning with dockside mingling just steps from the hotel. Then set sail for a river cruise and take in stunning views of Jacksonville at golden hour — an unforgettable welcome to Northeast Florida.

Registration:

Due to record attendance at Tourism Academy 2026 and limited capacity aboard the Royal Princess, we will be offering two 1-hour cruises so that every attendee has the opportunity to join. Select your preferred boarding time — 5:00 PM or 8:00 PM — when registering.

Space is limited, so you must register for a ticket in advance. Tickets are limited to one per Tourism Academy attendee.

If you're registered for the 8:00 PM cruise, join us beforehand at the hotel for a patio happy hour while you wait to board.

Once you've reserved your spot, please keep your emailed e-ticket handy or print it out, and have it ready to present at the Cruise entrance.
