Cruise Overview:

Experience two of America’s greatest rivers on this enchanting cruise through the Heartland. Immerse yourself in a new element of Americana at each port visited, from the small towns of Kentucky and Ohio to the vibrant metropolis of “Steel City” Pittsburg and St. Louis, the Gateway to the West. As you cruise the Ohio River in the comfort of our new riverboat, immerse yourself in our American roots from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement. Cruising the legendary Mississippi River, surround yourself with the landscapes and idyllic towns that inspired Mark Twain.

In Henderson, visit the Audubon Museum, which features many original works and join our expert guide to learn about the sense of natural wonder that this artist instilled in so many Americans. While in Louisville, take a behind the scenes tour of the Churchill Downs, the site of the famed Kentucky Derby, and explore the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, the world's largest museum devoted to quilt and fiber art.

At the end of an active day, return to the ship for relaxation and camaraderie as you sit down to a delicious meal and delightful conversation in our elegant restaurant.
