Set in the charming town of Edenton, North Carolina, the Brunch Cruise offered by Harbor Towns Cruises transforms a simple morning into a memorable voyage along the Albemarle Sound. Edenton, with its rich colonial heritage and scenic waterfront, provides the perfect backdrop for this culinary adventure.

As you step aboard this vintage vessel, the gentle hum of the paddlewheel sets the tone for a relaxing yet lively journey. The boat features an open-air top deck, where panoramic views of the waterfront and historic homes drift past—ideal for soaking in the scenery, snapping photos, or simply basking in the warmth of the sun. Inside, a cozy dining area awaits, where a delightful buffet showcases local favorites, fresh pastries, and savory bites. This leisurely cruise is as much about the scenery and history as it is about the food.
