Itinerary
Summer is in the air, and we’ll be on the road...and the rails...and the river! Take a scenic day river cruise aboard the colorful Celebration Belle full of food, storytelling and live entertainment on this quick midwest getaway.
Day 1 // Kansas City, MO
Our first steamin' stop is the Arabia Steamboat Museum. Unbelievable treasures and fascinating history await us here, opening up a window to life on the river 150 years ago. Explore the museum and learn how the handsome steamer Arabia prospered on the rivers, perished in 1856 and was finally rediscovered 132 years later, precious cargo intact.
Day 2 // Dubuque, IA
Today we will make our way to the city of Dubuque to visit the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. Enjoy dynamic aquariums and historical exhibits, a boatyard, the William M. Black dredge boat, and a wetland area along the 14-acre campus. Up-close and personal experiences with live animals take place daily, including creature features and multiple touch tanks.
Day 3 // Moline, IL
Become a part of the river scenery aboard the colorful Celebration Belle this morning. This distinctive paddlewheeler will spend the day carrying us down the Mississippi River. Search for wildlife, admire the views, or listen in on the live entertainment and historic information about certain points of interest! You'll feel like you've been transported to another decade, but there is really no better way to view the city and river than this! Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner are all included today.

On the way to St. Louis we will stop off in the historic city of Hannibal, Missouri to visit the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum where we'll see the charm of the town that inspired so many of Twain's most famous stories. Enjoy lunch together at a local restaurant.
