Remember the riverboats and showboats of the "Old South"? The paddle wheelers offer a unique experience. Turn back the clock to the days of Mark Twain and the pre-Civil War showboats. The "Mighty Mississippi" boasts a number of these trips to suit all tastes. Visit the Antebellum homes of the "Old South". Cruise the beautiful "Blue Grass" region and see the famous horse farms. Even attend the Kentucky Derby. If you love the music of the Big Bands, or Jazz, many of these cruises offer musical themes. A fabulous way to see the Fall Foliage spectacle is aboard a paddle wheeler. The scenic Columbia River of the great Northwest is a relatively new and different possibility. These boats offer luxurious surroundings, excellent cuisine, entertainment, and a very personal and intimate atmosphere.
