RIVERBOAT TWILIGHT: A continental breakfast will be waiting for you upon boarding the Victorian-style, triple-deck steamboat replica. A delicious lunch follows.

Stories abound as the captain entertains passengers with the history of towns along the banks, explains the lock and dam procedure, and points out wildlife along the way.

PORT OF DUBUQUE: Land Ho! Go ashore and check in at the Grand Harbor Resort for the evening. Explore the riverfront, check out the nightlife, or settle in to have sweet dreams of your day spent on the Mighty Mississippi.
