We experienced it all, on the Belle Riverboat. There was great food, good wine, folksy music and attentive staff. The 3 of us had a great time. Highly recommended for singles, couples and families. Very fun way to spend your day visiting Louisville.

The crew is highly professional and getting drinks and snacks was fast and easy even on a fully booked cruise. The views of downtown and the bridges are spectacular. You will also see beautiful scenery and likely some towboats working the river as well. You’re not going to find another experience like this on a REAL steamboat anywhere else.

I opted for the Picnic Riverboat Cruise on the Mary Miller riverboat, and I really enjoyed it. The picnic lunch cruise included a large Club croissant, slaw, chips, brownie and a drink. A very knowledgeable crew member entertained us with the history of the river and surrounding area. I had a very relaxing, enjoyable time.

My family of three were on our family summer vacay, so we decided to try out a river cruise. Everything met our expectations. The staff, music, and boat ride were all just what we were hoping for. I would definitely recommend it!

Belle of Louisville
Built in 1914, the Belle is the only remaining authentic steamboat from the great American packet boat era. A National Historic Landmark and an icon of the Louisville waterfront, the Belle is the most widely traveled steamboat of her size in American history.
Mary M. Miller
Louisville’s newest addition to the waterfront, the Mary is named for America’s first female licensed steamboat captain. With as much spirit as her namesake, the Mary is a propeller driven riverboat with old fashioned charm and modern amenities.
Andrew Broaddus
You may know it as the Belle of Louisville Riverboats Ticket Office, but you probably didn’t know the Mayor Andrew Broaddus, also known as Life Saving Station #10, is also a National Historic Landmark with a history all its own.
The river is an integral part of Louisville’s history. During your cruise, you’ll see landmarks highlighting key points in the city’s 200+ years of history. Hover over the icons to learn more about some of the areas you’ll see on your time aboard the Belle or Mary.
