Coursing nearly nine hundred miles from Minnesota’s Chippewa country to the confluence of the Missouri and Ohio Rivers, the Upper Mississippi flows through the pages of U.S. history. A working river, tamed by ingenious man-made lakes and locks, it wraps you in a colorful patchwork quilt of urban and frontier vistas. High bluffs and rolling farmland, wild wetlands and neat prairie farms instill the same sense of wonder and adventure that inspired early pioneers to put down roots and call the heartland home.
The Upper Mississippi awakens childhood memories—catching tadpoles, skipping rocks and counting clouds in a summer’s sky. Wonder comes anew as you run your hand along Aunt Polly’s fence in Mark Twain’s hometown, as you listen to the clip-clop of an Amish horse carriage, and as you tie up under the shimmering Gateway Arch, with all of St. Louis at your feet.
Come experience an unforgettable MISSISSIPPI JOURNEY.
Absolutely wonderful! The small ship is the only way to go. Loved every minute.
