About
There’s nothing quite like a Lake Superior sunset, especially when it’s paired with the flavors of the North Shore. Welcome aboard The Golden Hour, a one-of-a-kind Duluth dinner cruise celebrating the food, scenery, and spirit of Minnesota’s North Shore.
Climb aboard the Vista Star for a relaxed evening of incredible waterfront views, good company, and North Shore-inspired tasting stations. Featuring flavors inspired by the region we call home, this unique Lake Superior dining experience brings people together over a delicious meal and the simple joy of sharing an evening on the water. Pair your dinner with a specialty cocktail, like our Northwoods Maple Old Fashioned, available for purchase at the onboard bar.
As the evening unfolds, take in stunning views of the Duluth-Superior Harbor, cruise past the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge, and watch the sky transform into shades of gold over Lake Superior. Enjoy dinner in our comfortable indoor dining areas, then head outside to soak up the fresh lake air and breathtaking sunset views.
Whether you’re planning a romantic date night in Duluth, celebrating something special, gathering with friends, or simply looking for a memorable summer evening, The Golden Hour offers a chance to slow down, savor local flavors, and experience Lake Superior at its most beautiful.
