Can you think of a better way to admire a city skyline than by cruising down the river? Add a delicious buffet meal and live music from a Dixieland band. What do you get? Well, you just might have the perfect way to spend an evening. Hop aboard this dinner cruise in Missouri for an unforgettable adventure.
Set sail along the Mississippi River with the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch, in St. Louis, which offers several boat tours, including the Skyline Dinner Cruise.
In fact, once you step aboard the Tom Sawyer or the Becky Thatcher, 19th century paddle boats, you might just think you've been swept back to yesteryear.
Sit, back, relax, and watch the St. Louis skyline as the paddle boat meanders down the river. Of course, one of the highlights of your cruise will undoubtedly be the sight of the Gateway Arch shimmering against the landscape.
Bring the whole family, a group of friends, or that special someone for the two-hour Skyline Dinner Cruise that appeals to all ages. Cruises, depending on the river levels, set sail annually from May through October.
The Skyline Dinner Cruise welcomes guests to board at 7 p.m. while the paddle boat sails from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Call 877-982-1410 to determine when cruises will run, which depends on the river level.
