BB Riverboats' flagship, the Belle of Cincinnati is the epitome of Victorian riverboats, with gingerbread trim, ornate railings and sumptuous interior decor. There is a dance floor on each of the three decks and ample flydeck space on the upper levels to allow passengers to take in the scenery of the Ohio River. The Belle offers dinner cruises, ice cream socials, holiday specials, and Cincinnati sightseeing excursions. The boat is also available to charter for weddings, charity events and other special occasions.

Built in 1927, the Delta Queen is the only operating steam paddle-wheel riverboat in the Ohio area that offers overnight stateroom accommodations. Elaborate stained glass windows, crystal chandeliers, teak railings and brass fixtures are just a small part of the elegance that is the Delta Queen. You'll be taken back in time as you descend the sweeping Grand Staircase into the ballroom, or sit in a rocking chair on deck, just watching the river flow by. The ship has three bar lounges and a dining room that imposes a formal dress code on some nights. The Delta Queen leaves from New Orleans and wends its way to the port of Cincinnati.
