Most of us have a mental picture of the Mississippi that has been formed from our view from the shore and bridges. Nothing prepares you for the experience of seeing the valley from the river side. This vast wilderness is hidden smack in the center of the densely populated center of our country. A romantic could expound on the size, the commerce, the wildlife, the hidden qualities and the fact that

the area is not much changed from the early explorer’s times. This is the river Mark Twain knew, not the one from our school geography books. The great Upper Mississippi River Valley can only be experienced by boat. Fly-over’s won’t do, there are few roads along the shore and small boats are too limited in range and too low in the water to appreciate the true majesty of the many islands, marshlands and palisades along the Upper Mississippi River. And it’s not just a cruise; it’s a conduit to reconnection, to relaxation and ultimately renewal. Marvel at the majestic Mississippi river while relaxing in style aboard a stunningly replicated Victorian Riverboat. Allow yourself to be pampered by the Twilight’s attentive, informative and welcoming crew. Delicious meals are prepared on board in the lower galley, while a full bar complete with top shelf liquors provides custom drinks to enhance your experience. If you haven’t seen the river from the Twilight, you haven’t seen it. Discover us at riverboattwilight.com

👋 Last week, we said goodbye to our trusty, blue crew van.

She was primarily used to take our crew from the Port of Dubuque to their overnight dwellings in East Dubuque during our two-day, overnight cruises. She logged over 130,000 miles over the past 25 years.

The local Farm Boys Rugby team has used her the past few years during our off season to travel for their games. With us in the market for an upgrade, a donation to the team was as no brainer!

We hope you appreciate her bells and whistles--what few she has left! And best of luck on your upcoming season. :)

Huge thanks to Kevin and Carrie Stier of Riverboat Twilight - Mississippi River Cruise for their generous donation of a 15 passenger van to the Farm Boys! We can't wait to hit the road!
Take a memorable trip on the Mississippi River with Captain Kevin and the crew for a 90 minute sightseeing tour, a 1 day cruise, or their signature 2 day excursion!

We felt compelled to share the passing of Scales Mound's town dog, Petey.

Petey was a wonderful companion to the residents of Scales Mound and beyond. He visited local businesses, accepted many car rides, and played fetch with anyone who would throw a stick his way.

We encourage those who knew him to share your memories and photos of him in the comments, or stop by Country House Grocery to share your condolences in a notebook for the family.

You will be dearly missed, Petey! 🤍

Our Story

Most of us have a mental picture of the Mississippi that has been formed from our view from the shore and bridges. Nothing prepares you for the experience of seeing the valley from the river side. This vast wilderness is hidden smack in the center of the densely populated center of our country. Who knew? A romantic could expound on the size, the commerce, the wildlife, the hidden qualities and the fact that the area is not much changed from the early explorer’s times. This is the river Mark Twain knew, not the one from our school geography books. The great Upper Mississippi River Valley can only be experienced by boat. Fly-over’s won’t do, there are few roads along the shore and small boats are too limited in range and too low in the water to appreciate the true majesty of the many islands, marshlands and palisades along the Upper Mississippi River. The Riverboat Twilight delivers one of the most exceptional cruise experiences in the Midwest. And it’s not just a cruise; it’s a conduit to reconnection, to relaxation and ultimately renewal. Marvel at the majestic Mississippi river while relaxing in style aboard a stunningly replicated Victorian Riverboat. Allow yourself to be pampered by the Twilight’s attentive, informative and welcoming crew. Delicious meals are prepared on board in the lower galley, while a full bar complete with top shelf liquors provides custom drinks to enhance your experience. Where the river runs deep, so do the discoveries. The Riverboat Twilight delivers one of the most exceptional cruise experiences in the Midwest.
