The Queen of the Susquehanna, The Hiawatha, has been sailing since 1982, as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization to attract tourism to Williamsport and Lycoming County and to ensure the residents of the area are able to enjoy the breathtaking views of the majestic Susquehanna River and the Allegheny Mountains surrounding the venue. Throughout the 6-month season, May thru October, you cannot miss the sight of the timeless red, white and blue replica Paddlewheel cruising on the West Branch of the Susquehanna.
The Hiawatha resides at Susquehanna State Park, a 10-acre low impact park that offers walking trails, cross country skiing, boat launch conveniences, picnic facilities, bird watching and so much more that nature has to offer. The Hiawatha is truly incredible, and we are honored to have such a unique vessel and park in our region. The Hiawatha is a must-see attraction for all ages, you will not be disappointed!
We are happy to announce this is our 44th season and still sailing strong!
The Queen of the Susquehanna, during the 2015 season, celebrated their one-millionth passenger and since then has with vengeance and customer focus set its sights on serving the next million passengers. The Hiawatha supports the Lycoming and surrounding Counties' businesses, hotels, restaurants, schools, non-profits and residents with its vision and mission. COME ABOARD one of our many themed cruises, Wing Nites, Bingo, Princess Cruises, SuperHero, Tea Parties or why not even private-charter the Hiawatha for your Wedding, Rehearsal Dinner, Office Party, Retirement, Birthday or Anniversary Party. It's so much FUN onboard!
As the sunset dances across the water or the moon radiates down on the water, the opportunity for an exciting and invigorating cruise filled with opportunties in making long-lasting memories can only be limited by your imagination! With your donation and kindness to the Hiawatha, Inc., you will ensure that the mystical and magical ambiance of our cruises will continue for another season.
