Captain’s Dinner

On the Belle of Louisville

About this Cruise

Indulge in a truly special evening aboard the historic Belle of Louisville for our Captain’s Dinner! Start your evening aboard Louisville’s Legendary Lady with a dockside meal, including your choice of red or white wine, while listening to music from Derby City Dandies. After dinner, take a self-guided tour of this regal vessel, where you will have access to areas that are off-limits during normal cruises (including the Pilot House, with the best view of the river anywhere!), as well as meet the Belle of Louisville’s Master Captain Mark Doty and crew.

After your dockside dinner and VIP tour from 6 to 7:30 p.m., you’ll leave real life behind on the shore and depart on a beautiful escape from reality aboard a public Sunset Cruise from 8 to 10 p.m. Your Captain’s Dinner ticket includes a dockside buffet-style meal, one bottle of wine per couple, a behind-the-scenes tour and two-hour Sunset Cruise.

Tickets are $85.99 for adults (ages 21-64); $83.99 for seniors (ages 65+).
