Ohio River Cruises

The Ohio River rolls and roils along, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cairo, Illinois. It’s the largest tributary by volume of the Mississippi River.

In fact, at its confluence with the Mississippi, the Ohio (Seneca for “good river”) is considerably more mighty than the mighty Mississippi itself!

How mighty? Consider: The Ohio River is 981 miles long, flows through or borders six states, and is home to more than 25 million people — about 10 percent of the U.S. population (in the Ohio River basin).

USA River Cruises provides opportunities for the adventure seeker and the amateur (or not so amateur) historian aboard one of our Ohio River cruises.

For example, we offer an eight-day trip from lovely little Alton, Illinois (actually on the Mississippi River not far from St. Louis, Missouri), to Louisville, Kentucky. The trip begins on a high note in Alton, site of the last debate between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in October 1858.

Many of our trips provide convenient dry-land travel on board our “Hop-On/Hop-Off” buses. These buses (which look just like our ships!) travel alongside our cruises from port to port, so you’ll be able to take exciting shore excursions without the hassle of worrying about ground transport.

5 Ohio River Cruise Tips You Need to Know

The Mississippi River may be more famous for its steamboat history than any other river in the U.S., but the paddlewheel actually got its start on the Ohio River. The Ohio River is still a main thoroughfare for shipping and an integral part of the lives of locals along its banks. Despite the river traffic, Ohio River cruises are delightfully scenic and relaxing; there's more to see than you might expect.

The Ohio River meets the Mississippi in Cairo, Illinois, after getting its start near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and meandering westward to Cincinnati , Ohio, and down through Indiana and Kentucky.

Both Mississippi River and Ohio River cruises bookend their itineraries with large cities, but pack them full of the lifeblood-of-America small towns to give cruisers a real taste of Americana. Because Ohio River sailings always start or end on the Mississippi (either in St. Louis or Memphis ), you can combine an Ohio River cruise with a Mississippi River sailing for a true American heartland voyage.

Here are our five tips for Ohio River cruises, covering everything from the best time to do an Ohio River cruise and top itineraries to things to pack for your cruise and port highlights.

1. Choose the Best Time for Ohio River Cruises

With the Lower Mississippi states at their hottest and muggiest during the summer, the bulk of the summer is split between mostly Upper Mississippi sailings and a select few Ohio River sailings in late June and into July. But even temperatures on the Ohio River can climb into the 90s and humidity is high during the summer. Always be prepared for sudden thunderstorms brought on by the humidity.

2. Choose from Just Two Ohio River Cruise Lines

Two companies sail the Ohio River each summer: American Cruise Lines and American Queen Voyages .

American Cruise Lines operates a few Queen of the Mississippi itineraries on the Ohio from Cincinnati to Memphis (or vice versa), while American Queen Voyages operates several on its namesake boat American Queen from St. Louis to Cincinnati (or vice versa).

3. Browse Available Ohio River Cruise Itineraries and Select the Best for You

Cruisers interested in the Ohio River typically have a few itinerary choices to choose from (both of which are offered going in either direction). Some are more often available than others, however.

St. Louis to Cincinnati : The start (or end depending on whether you're sailing up or downriver) is actually on the Mississippi, but the bulk of your cruise will be on the Ohio River. Stops might include Cape Girardeau , Missouri; Paducah , Brandenburg, Henderson and Louisville, Kentucky; and Madison, Indiana.

Memphis to Cincinnati : This itinerary includes a short amount of time on the Tennessee and Kentucky Rivers. Stops typically include New Madrid, Missouri; Paducah, Henderson and Louisville, Kentucky; and Madison, Indiana.

Cincinnati to Pittsburgh : This third itinerary is rarely offered. American Cruise Line (ACL) doesn't offer it at all, and American Queen Voyages (AQV) offers it no more than twice a year. Ports visited on this itinerary include Maysville, Kentucky; Portsmouth, Gallipolis and Marietta, Ohio; and Point Pleasant and Wheeling, West Virginia.

Pittsburgh to St. Louis : AQV doesn't offer this itinerary, but ACL does. ACL's itineraries that start in Pittsburgh and end in St. Louis (and vice versa) include popular ports like Cincinnati, Louisville, Paducah and Cape Girardeau, among others.

4. Familiarize Yourself with Ohio River Cruise Port Highlights -- And Pick Your Favorites to See

Every stop along the way of an Ohio River cruise is unique in its own way and can be highly enjoyable to travelers of all interests. While itineraries begin and end with big cities (St. Louis, Memphis, Cincinnati), Ohio River itineraries focus on small-town USA; there might be less to see, but residents love to welcome you into their town.

Here are many of the port highlights cruisers can revel in while on this famous flowing destination.

Cincinnati, Ohio : Located right on the Ohio River, visitors to Cincinnati can visit several National Historic Sites via charming walking tours. A must-visit museum is the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

Louisville, Kentucky : This part of Kentucky is famous for two things -- horse racing (its home to the Kentucky Derby ) and whiskey (Jim Beam distillery anyone?).

Memphis, Tennessee : Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Johnny Cash -- Memphis is synonymous with music, be it blues , jazz or rock 'n' roll. Tour Presley's Graceland mansion or Sun Studio where Elvis, Cash, Roy Orbison and Jerry Lee Lewis all got their starts.

Stroll down Beale Street, peek into the dozens of music clubs, or explore the country's troubled history at the National Civil Rights Museum, located in the former Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

Paducah, Kentucky : This tiny town of Paducah is located near the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers, and its main attraction is a beautiful 50-piece mural. This mural details the history of Paducah from its early Native American roots through the Civil War and into the 20th century.

Henderson, Kentucky : The main attraction near small-town Henderson is the John James Audubon Museum. Here you'll learn about Audubon's life, view personal memorabilia and explore his original oil and watercolor paintings.

Madison, Indiana : A quiet river town (except during the Madison Regatta, a powerboat race which dates back to 1911), you'll see lots of Federal and Greek Revival-style homes here. Once the site of 13 saddletree (the frame on which saddles are built) factories, only the Schroeder Saddletree Factory and Museum (which operated for 94 years) remains fully intact.

5. Bring Bug Spray on Your Ohio River Cruise, Especially When on Port Stops

States along the Ohio River in July can get pretty muggy and with humidity come mosquitoes. They're not so much of a problem on the river itself, but during port stops you'll want something to keep them away.

Ohio River Facts

The Ohio River begins at Point State Park in Pittsburgh where the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers join together. Before reaching Pittsburgh, the Allegheny flows through New York and Pennsylvania for about 325 miles. And the Monongahela flows for about 130 miles through West Virginia and Pennsylvania until it reaches Point State Park.

America’s last authentic overnight steamboat

The legendary Delta Queen invites you aboard to experience a nostalgic return to America’s past!

Step aboard this historic vessel and into another century, when steam-powered paddleboats churned up and down the waterways of America. Adorned with teak handrails, Tiffany-style stained glass and crystal chandeliers, the Delta Queen’s grand decor exudes lavish Victorian charm.

The Delta Queen is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. She is also a National Historic Landmark, a member of the National Maritime Hall of Fame, and most recently designated a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Once the renovation process is complete, the Delta Queen will return to the waterways of America’s Heartland and Deep South, giving passengers the opportunity to experience the rivers from America’s only authentic 1927 overnight paddlewheel steamboat.

At this time, the historic vessel is securing resources to begin major renovations so she can once again invite passengers to relive the age of Mark Twain and his cast of river characters.

Don’t miss your chance to escape to an era of elegance and grandeur aboard the Delta Queen! Be the first to receive updates about the Delta Queen’s renovations and future sailings by signing up for updates here and following us on Facebook and Twitter .

Don’t miss the boat!

We appreciate your patience as the Delta Queen secures the necessary funds and resources to begin our extensive renovation process. We look forward to welcoming you aboard as soon as it’s possible to do so.

The French called the serene blue depths of the Ohio River "la belle riviere," the beautiful river. Thomas Jefferson agreed, describing it as "the most beautiful river on earth" and citing "its current gentle, waters clear, and bosom smooth and unbroken by rocks and rapids…" Explore this waterway yourself aboard a river cruise.

The 981-mile-long river passes through or borders six states on its way into Cairo, IL, where it joins the mighty Mississippi. In the late 1700s, the westward-flowing waterway became the main route for pioneers and settlers heading west from Pennsylvania, and numerous cities like Cincinnati and Pittsburgh cropped up along the riverbanks.

Often, cruises spend time on the Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers, taking you past the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Visit historic Louisville, KY, where the river is at its widest and deepest, and float along calm waters past farmlands, waterfront parks, railroad tracks and bluffs on your way to sites like the Floodwall Mural of Portsmouth, OH, or historic Cape Girardeau, MO, once a French trading post.

These trips are especially good values, because your stateroom, onboard meals and some sightseeing are included in a single upfront rate.

The islands of Louisville: How to visit and what to know about these Ohio River spots

The Ohio River is a relentless force, shaping and reshaping the landscape in its path.

Despite billions of gallons flowing by each day, persistent dredging and engineering of the waterway and the steady wake of recreational and commercial traffic, several riverine islands have stuck around near Louisville.

The islands on the Ohio River hold significant natural heritage and local history. And some are publicly accessible, offering recreational opportunities for boaters, paddlers and anglers.

Here’s what to know about the riverine islands closest to Louisville, starting upstream:

18 Mile Island

This island sits just downstream from Westport, carved out of the Kentucky bank of the Ohio in Oldham County. It's named for being roughly 18 miles upstream of Louisville, similar to 12 Mile Island and Six Mile Island.

Unlike most of the islands closer to Louisville, it's privately owned by Wood Island Inc., a business registered to Laura Lee Brown, according to state filings. Brown also co-owns nearby Woodland Farm and Hermitage Farm .

“Only disembark with permission from the farm manager,” says the Ohio River Way’s digital guide of the waterway .

18 Mile Island has a sandy beach facing Indiana, and a narrow channel separates it from the Kentucky shore. When it went up for sale along with the 900-acre Clifton Farm in the 1990s, a Courier Journal column described its allure to potential buyers:

“Marlon Brando owns an island in Tahiti. You could own an island, too, right here in the Ohio River.”

12 Mile Island

This island, also known as Embry Island, is split in the middle by the Jefferson-Oldham border and is publicly owned by Louisville Metro and Oldham County governments.

Camping is allowed on the island, according to the Ohio River Way guide, and “it gets crowded on weekend summer nights.”

It’s been a popular swimming, fishing and boating spot for decades, and there are wooden steps on the side of the island facing the Kentucky shoreline for access. The commercial marine highway runs on the Indiana side.

In 1992, The Courier Journal described ongoing local efforts to combat soil erosion on the island — and “the fear that the river will someday carry off their islands to Paducah” — including intentionally sinking barges on either end of the island to shield its banks, and planting trees and vegetation.

The island was also the setting of a Civil War clash in 1863 resulting in the capture of 20 Confederate soldiers, according to a recounting by Oldham County historian Nancy Stearns Theiss.

Six Mile Island

Six Mile Island is publicly owned and was established as a Kentucky nature preserve in 1979. It's open to the public during daylight hours, but overnight camping is prohibited.

It’s “noted for its variety of waterbirds,” according to the state , and “was protected so that it would be allowed to return to its original natural state.”

The island sits in a popular stretch of the river, downstream from Party Cove on the Indiana side and the mouth of Harrods Creek on the Kentucky side.

It was owned and farmed by the Ash family for about a century before it was purchased by Kentucky in the late 1900s. Goose Island once sat between Six Mile Island and the Kentucky shoreline, but vanished in the 1920s when the construction of the locks and dam downstream raised the river level.

Six Mile Island also marks the halfway point in the Great Steamboat Race, a long-standing annual tradition and part of the Kentucky Derby Festival. This year's race is May 1.

Recently, a proposed shipyard near Six Mile Island on the Indiana side of the river drew criticism from waterway and conservation advocates , who said the industrial development would endanger sensitive protected habitat on the island.

Some residents also provided public comment opposing the proposal, pointing to the island’s local recreational, cultural and environmental value.

Shippingport Island

Before the McAlpine Locks and Dam were built, the Falls of the Ohio marked the most treacherous stretch of the entire 981-mile river. The falls were a “series of rapids, waterfalls, and chutes,” dropping 26 feet over about 3 miles.

“When there was enough water, boats could attempt to run one of three chutes, or passages through the Falls,” according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , “but this required expertise and boats often wrecked during the attempt.”

The Corps’ infrastructure at the falls now carries vessels through smoothly, from barges to kayaks, under the authority of the lockmaster. And the nearby hydroelectric dam, built nearly a century ago, helps generate more than 100 megawatts of power from the falls, according to LG&E and KU .

Shippingport Island acts as the fulcrum of the Corps’ civil works in the area. At one time, people lived on the island — The Courier Journal previously described “a bustling mix of wharfs, brick houses, taverns, an old mill (and) small farms.”

In the 19th century, "Big Jim Porter," an ostensibly 7-foot-8-inch-tall horse-drawn cab driver, "presided over several taverns in the wharf areas of Portland and Shippingport," according to a history of Portland published by The Courier Journal.

Flood risk eventually drove residents off Shippingport Island. Now, it’s a mix of industrial uses supporting the locks and dam and forested land, with a narrow head forming the entrance to the locks through the Louisville and Portland Canal.

The Corps restricts access to much of the island, but allows fishing along a beach on the western bank. It's accessible from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, across the bridge to the island and through a security gate.

Other Louisville islands

Past Shippingport Island and the locks, 5-acre Lewis and Clark Island was named to commemorate the start of the explorers’ expedition, which began at the Falls of the Ohio in 1803, according to the Louisville Historical League .

It neighbors Sand Island, a larger strip of land to the west also managed by the Corps. Both are popular fishing spots and are open to the public during daylight hours, accessible by boat.

High water and weather conditions, as well as discharges from the nearby locks and hydropower station, warrant caution for boaters. According to a Corps spokesperson, local fire departments and dive teams use the area for swift water rescue training.

And the nearby Falls of the Ohio State Park boasts 390-million-year-old Devonian fossil beds, among the largest of their kind in the world, and offers close access to the river without a boat. Nearly 300 species of birds have been observed near the falls and surrounding islands, which are designated as a national wildlife conservation area, and John James Audubon "studied and painted numerous birds at this spot," according to the Corps.

There's also Towhead Island just upstream of downtown Louisville, between Waterfront Park and Beargrass Creek. It's a thin strip of land typically lined with barges and owned by a company associated with nearby Nugent Sand Co.

And in the mouth of Beargrass Creek is a small dot of land, less than 200 feet from end to end. It’s nameless, but you can change that — the U.S. Geological Survey accepts name proposals for unnamed natural features .

Preserving the islands of the Ohio

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge more than 30 years ago to protect islands all along the Ohio, but most of the preserved land is along the West Virginia stretch of the river.

David Wicks, a local waterway advocate and educator, said the initiative ran out of steam, and no islands downstream of Maysville have joined the refuge. He hopes to see it renewed, to bring protections to more Ohio River islands.

“Louisville has some of the most concentrated area of islands” starting with 18 Mile Island, Wicks said on a paddle trip from Westport to Louisville last year. “The dream is to get U.S. Fish and Wildlife to get this, 12 Mile, Six Mile, Towhead, Shippingport, Sand Island, Lewis and Clark Island, all part of our wildlife management area for these migratory birds.”

Waterway advocates have also called for a National Water Trail designation for the Ohio River between Portsmouth, Ohio, and West Point, Kentucky — hoping to redefine the river as a recreational asset, not just a barge highway.

With more recreational value attached to the river, some local groups hope to bring economic momentum to river towns and protect the natural resources of the waterway in the process.

Connor Giffin is an environmental reporter for The Courier Journal and a corps member with Report for America, a national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues. The program funds up to half of corps members’ salaries, but requires a portion also be raised through local community fundraising. To support local environmental reporting in Kentucky, tax-deductible donations can be made at courier-journal.com/RFA .
