The Steamer Belle of Louisville, a National Historic Landmark and The Riverboat Spirit of Jefferson serve as the western anchor of Louisville's award winning Waterfront Park in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. With the playing of her calliope, the Belle, now in her 98th year, continues to beckon one and all to join her on a journey back to the time when she carried passengers and goods to ports all along the beautiful Ohio River. The majestic Ohio River, the major link between the bustling cities of the East Coast and the mighty Mississippi River, was greatly instrumental in shaping the future of the city of Louisville and to this day still captures the imagination of all who visit. The Belle of Louisville is now the oldest operating Mississippi style steamboat in the world.

Our vessels also host celebrations for some of the region's most distinctive events including: Thunder Over Louisville, The Battle of the Belles, The Kentucky Oaks and The Kentucky Derby.
