Top Three Hilton Head Dinner Cruises
Since 1968, tourists have enjoyed Hilton Head dinner cruises at the world-famous Harbour Town. Find out about them and all the tasty things you can do, from watching dolphins while you eat to a romantic Valentine’s Day cruise.
Hilton Head Island Sunset Dinner Cruise
Enjoy a menu based on the Lowcountry made fresh every day by the award-winning chefs at the Sea Pines Resort. As we go through the intracoastal waterways, this is the only place on Hilton Head where you can eat with a view like this. You can get your favorite drink at our full-service bar or pick out a great bottle of wine from our long list. There are a variety of champagnes that can help you celebrate a special event or a romantic evening. If you want to eat outside, you can do so on the shaded topside deck, where you can enjoy the evening air. You have the best table and view of the water on Hilton Head Island, no matter what.
You can eat inside on our lower-level climate-controlled cabin with windows all around, or you can eat outside on our upper level in the open air under a shaded canopy. You can’t go wrong with either option because they give you the best views of the Lowcountry.
Watch out for the dolphins in our area, as they usually show up on the Sunset Dinner Cruise.
Dinner with the Dolphins on Hilton Head Island
Enjoy a menu with a Lowcountry theme made fresh every day by chefs who have won awards at the Sea Pines Resort. As you go through the intracoastal waterways, this is the only place on Hilton Head where you can eat with a view like this. You can choose your favorite drink from our full-service bar or a fantastic bottle of wine from our extensive list. In addition, you can pick from a range of champagnes to help you celebrate an event or a romantic night.
This early-bird dinner cruise takes place during the day, so you can see the beautiful Lowcountry and the wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins who have lived in these waters the whole time. Along the route of the Hilton Head dinner cruise, you will see some historic sites on Hilton Head and Daufuskie Island and hear about them from the boat’s captain.
On the Spirit of Harbour Town, you can sit inside, where the temperature is controlled, or outdoors, where you can sit under a canopy. Each group will have a private table with a window seat on the lower level. Everyone will have a seat around the edges with an open view of the upper deck. When you purchase your tickets online, you will have two choices: where to sit and how big your table is.
Dinner with the Dolphins is the only restaurant on Hilton Head Island with a view like this.
Dinner Cruise Around Harbour Town with Fireworks
Come on the Spirit of Harbour Town this summer to see the Shelter Cove Fireworks show from the water while eating Lowcountry food made by the Sea Pines Resort’s award-winning chefs. You can eat inside our climate-controlled cabin on the lower level, which has windows all around, or outside on the upper level, which has a canopy for shade. You can’t go wrong with either option since both give you the best views of the Lowcountry.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do You Tip on a Dinner Cruise?
Tipping on a dinner cruise is optional. However, US-based cruise lines generally add tips of about $14 to $15 per person per day to your bill on board. These tips are split between the waiters, assistant servers, head waiters in the dining room, and the people who clean the rooms (such as cabin attendants).
What Time is Dinner on a Cruise Ship?
Those who choose a traditional dining plan will be given either an early dinner (sometime between 5:30 and 6:30) or late dinner (an 8 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. start time). You will be expected to show up right on time and not 45 minutes into dinner service.
What is Captain’s Dinner on a Cruise?
A captain’s dinner on a cruise is when the captain joins you. It is fancier, fuller, and more memorable
