We have so many ways to explore Missouri – from meandering along one of its many hiking trails to hoping aboard a Segway for a unique view of the state. We can even glide across the sky on an epic zipline for a bird’s eye view of the scenery below. The Mark Twain Riverboat in Missouri also offers a fun and a relaxing way to admire the beauty of the Mississippi River and the scenic beauty of the Missouri landscape.
Hannibal is perhaps best known as the boyhood home of beloved author, Mark Twain, and it boasts quite a few attractions that bear his name – from the Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse to the Mark Twain Cave & Campground.
Perhaps the most popular cruise, offered between April and early November, is the scenic sightseeing cruise. Sit back, relax, and watch the beautiful scenery go by on the one-hour cruise.
A seasoned tour guide will provide a lively narrative that provides insight into the history of the Mississippi River. You can eat grab a bite to eat and a drink from the snack bar.
Catch a gorgeous Mississippi River sunset on one of the Dinner Cruises, offered from May through the end of October. The two-hour cruise features a scrumptious buffet dinner, dancing, and gorgeous views of the river and the passing landscape.
For a relaxing Sunday adventure, join the Captain’s Sunday Lunch aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat. Sunday Lunch cruises set sail from May through September.
