Day One - Set sail aboard a sunset cruise on the American Rover Tall Sailing Ship. The American Rover offers student groups both DJ Pizza Cruises and Field Trip experiences.

Student groups can perform aboard the Battleship Wisconsin, one of the last and largest battleships ever built by the U.S. Navy.

Savor freshly prepared foods in a nautical setting accompanied by dynamic professional live entertainment.
