Belle of Louisville Riverboats

Belle of Louisville Riverboats presents history through a variety of engaging cruise and dockside events—entertaining and educating over 12 million passengers since 1963. A National Historic Landmark, the Belle is the only remaining authentic steamboat from the great American packet boat era. At 108 years old and counting, the Belle remains purely steam-powered and paddlewheel-propelled. The Belle’s sister vessel, the Mary M. Miller, was named after Louisvillian Mary Millicent Miller, the first woman in America to earn her steamboat captain’s license in 1884. Both vessels feature a full-service cash bar, concession stand, outdoor observation decks, indoor, climate-controlled decks and wheelchair accessibility to portions of the vessel.
