Did you know that Elvis once owned Potomac?
That's right, in 1964. Looking for a publicity project, Elvis bought Potomac with the idea to refurbish her but instead he donated her to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Southern California for its auction. And Potomac's history continues from there to the Bay Area!
You'll hear all of the Elvis classics when you join us for this rousing tribute performance to the King and a spectacular cruise on San Francisco Bay.
Wear your Elvis gear and be your own impersonator! You won't be alone in that!
Please note: Beginning March 26, 2025 a 2% banking credit card transaction fee is added to your ticket purchase.
