Pride of the Susquehanna
Harrisburg’s riverboat will remain docked for several more weeks.
The Pride of the Susquehanna’s summer launch will be pushed back until July 4 due to unexpected repairs, announced the Harrisburg Area Riverboat Society (HARS) on Friday.
“We understand this news may be disappointing, especially for those with reservations in June,” said Lori Ribbans, chair of HARS. “The society is dedicated to the safe operation of the Pride of the Susquehanna and prioritizes responsible stewardship of our riverboat.”
According to the society, the U.S. Coast Guard identified a repair that needs to be made to the boat to ensure it meets safety regulations.
Typically, the Pride of the Susquehanna launches for its summer season in May.
HARS is currently contacting all guests with reservations for cruises in May and June, including the Memorial Day Veterans Cruise, which is rescheduled to July 14.
“The society apologizes for any inconvenience and will offer guests with existing bookings a full refund or the opportunity to reschedule their cruise for a later date in the season,” the society stated.
