Traditional Thanksgiving dinner buffet cruise with music and dancing aboard the Gateway Clipper on the Ohio River.
The Gateway Clipper is doing a Thanksgiving Dinner Cruise on Thursday, November 26, 2026, sailing from the Station Square Dock. It's a traditional Thanksgiving buffet on the water, and the company frames it as a way to leave the cooking and the clean-up to them. The cruise runs in two sailings: one from 12 PM to 2:30 PM and another from 5 PM to 7:30 PM, so you can take it early or later in the day.
This is one of the Clipper's holiday offerings, and it sits right in the middle of their full season. That run starts with Halloween cruises in October and carries through Light Up Night, Santa Family Fun weekends, December holiday dinner and lunch cruises, and three New Year's Eve sailings. If you're looking for something beyond the public cruises, they also do private holiday parties for up to 400 guests across five riverboats. And throughout the season, the fleet runs Game Day Shuttles to Steelers games at Acrisure Stadium.

On the practical side, veterans and active military ride free, and the boats are cashless on board, so you'll want to have a card ready. The cruise departs from the Station Square Dock at 350 W. Station Square Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
