Belle of Louisville Riverboats 🌤️ Leaving troubles behind since 1914. 🎶 Dining, live music, narrated & themed cruises 🚢 Louisville’s newest addition to the waterfront, the Mary M.

Leave your worries behind with a relaxing cruise on Belle of Louisville Riverboats. Not only will you see Louisville and the Ohio River from a unique perspective — it’s also quite literally stepping into a piece of American history. We present that history through a variety of engaging cruise experiences, entertaining and educating over 12 million passengers since 1963. A National Historic Landmark and an icon of the Louisville waterfront, the Belle is the only remaining authentic steamboat from the great American packet boat era. As a National Historic Landmark and 108 years old, the Belle is a living operating museum. Miller is named for America’s first female licensed steamboat captain. With as much spirit as her namesake, the Mary M. Miller is a propeller-driven riverboat with old fashioned charm and modern amenities.

🚢 Save the Date ⏰
Some of our amazing crew will be leading a discussion on October 10th at 4pm for the Payne Hollow Symposium October 9-11th.

“At this 2026 Symposium, we hope that scholars, students, scientists, creatives, and community members will consider what it means to them to “drift forward” in such a way. How can we, like the Hubbards, learn from the stream of time and carry the ideas of creativity, curiosity, and stewardship into a bright and bountiful future?” (Exert from the official Payne Hollow on the Ohio website.)
