About the Belle of Louisville

The Belle of Louisville has been cruising along since 1914. She looks good for her age doesn’t she? A National Historic Landmark and an icon of the Louisville waterfront, the Belle is the only remaining authentic steamboat from the great American packet boat era.

No matter what you’re boarding for – sightseeing, a four-course dinner, live music excursion or unique event – it’s always a very special occasion. A cruise on the Belle is a chance to explore and enjoy a living, operating museum.

Did You Know?

1. At 105 years old, the Belle of Louisville is the oldest operating Mississippi River-style steamboat in America, with only one other vessel of similar age in the world!

2. In fact, the Belle of Louisville is the only river steamboat in American history to reach the age of 100.

3. The Belle's engines are even older– dating to the mid-1880s (and are still doing the job!).

4. Still today, the Belle operates under steam power.

5. The Belle of Louisville was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

6. Our ticket office, Life Saving Station #10, is also a National Historic Landmark and the only inland life-saving station in the country.
