This one-of-a-kind, highly requested river cruise aboard the Mary M. Miller riverboat is unlike any other experience we offer, allowing guests the first-hand experience of passing through the McAlpine Locks. Built in the 1920s, the McAlpine Locks are the only way to safely navigate past the Falls of the Ohio, the only obstruction along the Ohio River… which spans 981 miles throughout six states!

Steamboat Supper Cruise

Come aboard for a hearty and delicious meal while you enjoy the sights and sounds of the river as we show you the town from an all-new perspective—out on the water. Grab a cocktail from our full bar, then sit back, relax and enjoy your meal. This is a two-hour excursion.

Captain’s Dinner

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.
