Reports: Philadelphia Belle no longer operating

    Philadelphia Belle stopped operating today, according to reports, marking the end of its cruises on the Delaware River.

    Back in December when the Belle began operating, we reported more than 10,000 people had made reservations for a trip on the vessel. Now, Fox29 and CBS3 report those left stranded are looking to the Spirit of Philadelphia to fulfill their meal-time cruise needs.

    GM Perry Miles told Fox he’s not sure how refunds will be handled for GroupOn customers who used the local deal site to save on cruises.
