rascalcat Posted February 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Looking for a 2-3 night cruise on the Ohio or Mississippi for my 94 year-old Dad. He will have a companion. Prefer on-board stateroom. Does anyone do affordable custom cruises?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted February 11, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2013 rascalcat, There are only two companies offering overnight cruises on the Mississippi and Ohio river system: - American Queen Steamboat Company: American Queen (paddlewheel steamboat) - American Cruise Lines: Queen of the Mississippi (paddlewheel boat, no steam) The American Queen had a 3 nighter last year out of Cincinnati. But for 2013 the shortest I can find is 6 days. And to answer your question about "affordable custom cruises"... that depends on how you define "affordable" :rolleyes:. I´d say they are all not a bargain. You might check the Belle of Cincinnati (out of Newport Kentucky, BBRiverboats). They did offer "overnight" cruises in the past but then you stay in a hotel for the night as they don´t have any cabins. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted February 12, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2013 You might also check the Spirit of Peoria out of Peoria on the Illinois river. And there´s the riverboat Twilight in LeClaire, IA, on the Mississippi river making regular 2 day trips with a hotel accomodation in Dubuque, IA. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
