sightseeing cruise

Scenic boat excursion

A sightseeing cruise is a boat trip designed for viewing scenery or landmarks from the water.

These range from harbor tours to river excursions, typically lasting a few hours rather than overnight: We took a sightseeing cruise around the bay.

The focus is observation rather than transportation—passengers board to see, not to get somewhere.
