Whether you enjoy solving mysteries, need a fun outdoor escape with the kids, love taking in a sunset, or even jam to a little Yacht Rock, Belle of Louisville Riverboats has a cruise tailored for you. Between the Belle of Louisville and her sister vessel, the Mary M. Miller, there are more than a dozen different series of themed cruises, along with several specialty one-time or limited-date events on tap for the 2024 season.
Marking the 110th birthday for the Belle of Louisville – the oldest operating Mississippi River-style steamboat in the world – the 2024 season has a wide range of cruise themes and day and time options running through November.

“We have transformed our onboard experience, have offerings for so many different interests, and we are seeing many of our specialty cruises sell out,” said Krista Snider, CEO of Belle of Louisville Riverboats. “If the last time you were on the Belle was for your grade-school field trip, you have truly missed the boat.”
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to celebrate all season long by purchasing an Annual Pass for $110. Families in Kentucky and Indiana (or anywhere, really) can enjoy cruising year-round with an annual pass to Belle of Louisville Riverboats. Each pass purchase supports the mission of connecting the community to the river through meaningful, on-the-water experiences, in addition to continuing our preservation and restoration efforts and expanding our educational programming. The one-year pass provides passholders the following opportunities and exciting benefits:
● Unlimited Leisure Cruises, now including Kids Cruises (new this season)
○ Pass can be shared with up to four people within the household

The 2024 Kids Cruises are packed with so many activities that your children won’t even realize they are learning. The STEAMboat Kids Cruise is perfect for active, curious kids looking for an engaging experience. Family-focused activities throughout the boat will draw from science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (STEAM). Kids will have so much fun, they won’t even realize they are learning! And just for fun – and because it’s a tradition every excursion will end with an optional dance party.
