Marking its 111th year, the Belle of Louisville Riverboats is launching its 2025 cruise season on March 28, 2025. This year includes past favorites plus new themed cruises.
“Every season, we set the stage for new adventures on the Ohio River,” said Krista Snider, CEO of Belle of Louisville Riverboats, in a press release. “This year’s lineup is revamped and refreshed with something for everyone, no matter what floats your boat. We’ve got high-energy themed cruises, gorgeous sunset dinners, and romantic evening rides. Whether you’re looking to get dressed up like a pirate, dance with Krampus, or learn about women’s history on the river while enjoying a night out with your girlfriends, there are plenty of reasons to visit Belle of Louisville Riverboats again and again.”
Several favorite cruises are returning this year, including #ThrowbackThursday, which features classic hits, drink specials, and retro pricing on these decade-themed sails. Sunset cruises will also be returning, providing live music and cocktails while enjoying a colorful evening painting the skies. #SundayFunday returns with the laid-back afternoon with a taco bar, entertainment, and games.
New cruises in 2025 include #GirlsNightOut aboard the renovated Mary M. Miller, which features a live DJ and a full bar. And for the younger audience, Kids Silent Disco cruises will be offered.
For those looking to take full advantage of the season, the Belle of Louisville Riverboats Annual Pass provides unlimited leisure cruises for the passholder and up to three guests per cruise, along with discounts on tickets, souvenirs and meal cruises. The pass can be purchased at BelleofLouisville.org/Annual-Pass.
