Riverboat Twilight - Mississippi River Cruise

Riverboat Twilight - Mississippi River Cruise The Riverboat Twilight delivers one of the most exceptional cruise experiences in the Midwest. Who knew? Where the river runs deep, so do the discoveries.
(207)

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

⭐️ Our crew minus a few ⭐️

Last night we had our annual Twilight crew party in Guttenberg, Iowa. We visit Guttenberg a few times in our season during our round trips from Dubuque. The people and businesses have always been warm and welcoming.

We wanted to thank a few in particular for making last night so special:

- Guttenberg Brewing Company for giving us a tour of their brewery, a tasting, and their hospitality.

- The Fish Shack for their outstanding food. Ribs, catfish, beans, shrimp cocktail, vinegar pie, and more!

- The Landing for providing overnight lodging for our crew near and far.

These folks went above and beyond for us. We are so grateful!

This reflection of a lock and dam was taken by Sarah Krumm of Iowa. The calm waters and beautiful sky make it hard to distinguish river versus sky.

We receive many photos of the Twilight, but it's nice to showcase the additional river traffic on the Mississippi as well.

This shot of the beautiful, blue sky, calm waters, and a full barge was taken by Marc Hershberger of Iowa.
