Belle of Louisville

There's Only One...Belle of Louisville.

The historic Steamer Belle of Louisville, built in 1914, is the oldest operating steam-driven river paddlewheeler in the country. This beautiful National Historic Landmark offers sightseeing excursions on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Cruises originate at the downtown Louisville Wharf. The Spirit, the Belle's sister riverboat docked at the same downtown wharf, is a replica of the fabled riverboats of by-gone days. Air conditioned and heated, she cruises on scheduled dates from February through New Year's Eve, offering lunch, dinner, & sightseeing cruises.
