Lady Caroline offers a relaxing way to experience Cleveland and its waterways from a whole new perspective. The four-deck, 120-foot ship features more than 15,000 square feet of passenger space, including three fully enclosed, climate-controlled decks and a sky deck with a covered bar and panoramic views of the city, river and lake.

October brings seasonal cruises for families and adults looking for something a little different.

On Friday, Oct. 16, Lady Caroline hosts a Murder Mystery Dinner Cruise from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m., with boarding at 6:30 p.m. Guests can step back into the 1950s for a sock hop with a deadly twist, following clues and trying to identify the culprit while enjoying dinner and dancing. Costumes are encouraged. Tickets are $64.95 to $79.95, plus taxes and fees.

Families can join the fun on Saturday, Oct. 24, during the Monster Bash from noon to 2 p.m., with boarding at 11 a.m. Young ghouls, goblins and superheroes are invited to come in costume for a not-so-spooky afternoon cruise featuring onboard trick-or-treating. Tickets are $25 to $37, plus taxes and fees.

Later that evening, adults can get into the Halloween spirit aboard Caroline’s Cursed Cruise, sailing from 7 to 10 p.m., with boarding at 6 p.m. The night includes a costume contest with prizes for the winner and runner-up. Tickets are $67.99, plus taxes and fees.

Lady Caroline departs from the Nautica Waterfront District, 1153 Main Ave., Cleveland. For tickets and additional info, visit ladycaroline.com or call 216-696-8888.
