We can’t help noticing the weekend nights when groups line up, dressed to the nines and equipped with veils and sashes. It looks like the secret is out: Belle of Louisville Riverboats is the place to go for one of the most unique bachelorette party experiences you can have in Louisville!

Planning a bachelorette party is a lot. Whether you’re the maid of honor or the planner of your friend group, read on to hear our top five ideas to have the best Belle bachelorette!

1. Disco Bachelorette

Kick off a long weekend in Louisville with a #ThrowbackThursday cruise on the Belle! This event, which runs on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m., includes an all-request playlist with your favorites from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.

Costumes are highly encouraged on this cruise, so get decked out (get it?) in sequins, jumpsuits, and platform heels and dance the night away!

2. Gatsby-Style Bachelorette

Bourbon goes great with bachelor and bachelorette parties! Our Speakeasy cruises include free tastings of our signature “Gigglewater” cocktail in the Captain’s Quarters, a costume contest and period-appropriate live music.

Flapper dresses and fun abound on this authentic experience that hearkens back to the Belle’s early days of Moonlight Excursions in the actual 1920s.

3. Murder Mystery Bachelorette 

Our Murder Mystery cruises are an experience to remember for anyone… so why not make it the centerpiece of your bachelorette party? This 1940s-themed cruise includes an amazing dinner, an immersive Murder Mystery show written exclusively for our boat, and the chance to wear a retro 1940s costume.

4. Yacht Rock Bachelorette 

For a truly nautical-themed party, you can’t go wrong with yacht rock. We offer two experiences that fit whatever you’re looking for! Our Yacht Rock cruise features local sensations Tony and the Tanlines performing all the hits live.

Meanwhile, our Anchors Away Fridays on the Mary M. Miller features the originals spun by a live DJ, drink specials and more. This cruise, which runs Fridays from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., is one of our most popular bachelorette options that fits almost any theme.

5. Sunset Bachelorette on the Belle

Sometimes you just need to go with a classic! Our Sunset Cruises feature live music and run on Saturdays from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. With add-ons like buckets of champagne, cupcakes and charcuterie boats, we have everything you need to get the party started on the Belle of Louisville.

Our riverboats are made for memory-making, so we hope you’ll make some memories here at a very special time in your life.
