Potomac Riverboat Company Launches Boat Service Between Alexandria & the SW Waterfront in Washington, DC
If you’re heading to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as America’s 45th president on Jan. 20, and are looking for a convenient hotel option, consider Alexandria, VA. Home to some 27 hotels including outposts of Marriot, Westin, Hilton, Kimpton and others, Alexandria also boasts a charming historic Old Town filled with cobbled streets, diverse shopping and excellent dining.
While the city has always been accessible to DC via metro or taxi, Jan. 20 will also mark the launch of the brand new Potomac Riverboat Company, which will start a service between Alexandria’s waterfront in Old Town and the Southwest Waterfront in Washington, just a 10-minute walk to the U.S. Capitol.
Visitors can take advantage of 11 departure times from Alexandria beginning at 6:30 a.m. and ending at 6:45 p.m. for $40 per person roundtrip. Travelers will enjoy a heated, 45-minute picturesque ride on the Potomac River complete with stunning views of the monuments.
