Celebrate your engagement, wedding or reception with timeless memories on the three rivers.
In Pittsburgh, love has its seasons. The holidays are a favorite time to pop the question, and late summer and fall, especially September and October, are a favorite time to say "I do." With the skyline glowing against colorful hillsides and the rivers sparkling under golden sunsets, it's no wonder couples choose these months to begin forever. Whether it's an engagement party, an elegant ceremony or a lively reception, our riverboats turn Pittsburgh's most romantic views into the backdrop for your love story.
Book early for peak season
Saturdays from May to October book 12 to 18 months out. If your heart is set on a fall Saturday, start planning early. Fridays, Sundays and winter dates on the Three Rivers Queen (November through March) often have more availability.
The Princess, reimagined
We recently gave one of our most beloved boats, the Princess, a complete interior renovation, and she's now the most beautiful interior in our fleet. Modern, elegant touches elevate every detail of your day. The first level features a spacious dance floor for first dances and late-night celebrations, while the second deck's balcony looks down onto the action below, ideal for guests who want to soak in the moment from above. Great-size windows frame the skyline from every table.
The Princess hosts wedding dinners for up to 150 guests and top-deck ceremonies for up to 72 seated. See more on our Princess weddings page.

It includes a premium open bar, champagne toast, cocktail hour, dinner buffet, DJ, linens, up-lighting and a cruise director. You'll work directly with our experienced events team, who will help bring your vision to life and make sure everything runs smoothly.
