PVD POV: Coffee, Candles & Cruises – A Perfect Day at The Landing

Providence is full of surprises, especially when you see it from the water. In this episode of PVD POV, we're joined by Kristen and Tom from Providence River Boat and The Landing, the cozy café and gift shop that serves as home base for their tours.

We talk about how The Landing curates Rhode Island-made jewelry, candles, ceramics and oyster ornaments, why visitors love bringing home a little piece of PVD, and how Kristen built her roster of local makers.

Tom shares some of the stories guests hear on the river: how Providence once covered its rivers with concrete and rail lines, the visionary project that brought them back, and what it's like to navigate shallow channels, WaterFire and the hurricane barrier. We also dive into oyster and wine cruises, collaborations with local breweries and vineyards, and the brand-new, larger vessel that will make it easier to bring groups and conventions out on the water.
