Next month, a fresh dining cruise experience is launching in Tampa

Craft, a novel gastronomic adventure, is poised to embark on its maiden voyage along the Hillsborough River next month. Yacht Starship Dining Cruises has announced that reservations will open for this European-style river cruise beginning March 8.

This new vessel, touted as the largest on the Hillsborough River, represents a multimillion-dollar investment and boasts several groundbreaking features for Tampa and the passenger vessel industry. According to a press release, Craft will be the inaugural dining cruise in the U.S. to feature an open kitchen and a cook-to-order galley utilizing gas cooking equipment instead of electric.
