Slow It Down Sunday on the Sainte Genevieve Riverboat!

The rain is moving out, the heat wave returns next week, and today is shaping up to be just about perfect for an afternoon on the river.

Join us at 12:30 PM for Sightseeing + Music featuring Brandon Reisdorf with special guest Matthew Pittman. Cold drinks, live music, a gentle breeze, and the best views in town. There's no better way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

A few tickets are still available.

A little midweek magic, Sainte Gen style. ✨

Join us Wednesday, August 26 at 6 PM for a special Sunset + Small Bites Cruise featuring live music by Steve Sharp and a delicious meal curated by Pine Hills.

Our weekend Small Bites cruises have a habit of selling out—so we thought Wednesday deserved a little love, too. 😉

Advance ticket purchase required. Come hungry. Leave happy. We will do our best to provide a beautiful sunset.

* 6:30 PM Sunset + Music featuring John Piontek

Can’t make it today? Sunday’s forecast looks just as beautiful.

Well...Mother Nature wins this round. 🌧️

Due to rising river levels after a week of rain and severe weather, all Sainte Genevieve cruises scheduled for today, Saturday, August 15, have been cancelled.

We would much rather be untying the lines than tying up loose ends, but the safety of our guests and crew always comes first.

To everyone who had plans with us today, thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support of our small business. 💚

If you were ticketed for today’s events and haven’t yet responded to one of our texts or emails, please do so as soon as possible. Your quick reply helps us make sure every guest has received the update.

The river will settle, the sun will return, and we’ll be ready to welcome you back aboard for cool drinks, live music, and the best views in town.

Until then, we will keep an eye on the river and schedule a chat with Mother Nature.

Well...Mother Nature wins this round. 🌧️

Due to rapidly rising river levels following an unprecedented week of rain and severe weather, all Sainte Genevieve cruises scheduled for today, Saturday, August 15, have been cancelled.

We would much rather be untying the lines than tying up loose ends. But as always, the safety of our guests and crew comes first.

To everyone who had plans with us today, thank you for your understanding, your patience, and for continuing to support our small business through a season that has certainly tested us.

If you are a ticketed guest for today's events and haven't yet responded to one of our texts or emails, please get in touch. We work hard to personally notify every guest of schedule changes, and your quick reply helps us ensure no one is missed.

The river will settle, the sun will return, and we'll be ready to welcome you back aboard for calmer waters, cool drinks, live music, and the best views in town. 💚

Until then, we will keep an eye on the river, and maybe have another little chat with Mother Nature.
