Riverboat Cruises Details
Looking for a different perspective on the Gateway Arch? Hop aboard one of the Gateway Arch Riverboats and cruise the mighty Mississippi in style. These narrated riverboat cruises offer a relaxing, scenic experience paired with fascinating stories about St. Louis's riverfront history, the evolution of the city, and the role the Mississippi played in America's westward expansion. Departing from the dock just below the Arch, the one-hour daytime sightseeing cruises are the most popular, offering a perfect introduction to the area's landmarks, bridges, and industrial past-all set against the stunning backdrop of the Arch itself. Along the way, you'll hear fun and informative narration that brings the city's history to life. But there's more than just daytime options. The riverboats also host a variety of specialty cruises throughout the year-think dinner cruises, Sunday brunches, live music nights, and even fireworks cruises during summer celebrations. Each offers a different vibe, whether you're looking for a romantic evening on the water or a family-friendly afternoon adventure. The riverboats are wheelchair accessible, and food and beverages are available for purchase on many cruises.
