Romantic Gondola Cruises on the St. Croix

Our gondolas have been delighting passengers on the St. Croix river since 2001. We launch from Stillwater, a cozy community situated between the bluffs along the river valley and located just 20 miles east of downtown St. Paul. With its many B&Bs, eateries, antique shops, and art and book dealers, Stillwater is a favorite tourist destination and a beloved hometown.

Romantic Meal and Cruise

Several of our St. Croix packages include great meals at the Dock Cafe, located on the river in Stillwater. Enjoy a meal followed by a relaxing ride on the St. Croix.

Picnic as You Cruise

Plan a trip for your family or a group of friends – the gondola holds up to six people. While your gondolier quietly rows behind you, enjoy a gourmet picnic provided by us or bring your own dessert and beverage.

Cushy Seating

You'll find sinking into our cushioned seats very relaxing. If the night turns a little cool, we provide down comforters for snuggling.

Gondola rides make great ways to celebrate anniversaries, marriage proposals, weddings, birthdays and more. A gondola ride also makes a unique gift! Gift certificates can be bought and booked online.
