Explore the Top Attractions of St. Louis on this Small-Group City Tour featuring a River Cruise!
What to Know
Cruising on Riverboats at the Gateway Arch is one of the best ways to experience the Gateway Arch and Downtown St. Louis. See the quietly beautiful views of the Mississippi River up close, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are a lot of options of themed boat rides to choose from, catering to your mood and preference. Skyline Dinner Cruise is especially popular. As the name indicates, this riverboat tour offers a dinner-themed two-hour night special with blissful live music or DJ, a gourmet chef-inspired menu, and views of the city's skyline and river. Pricing for adults starts at $59, while children get a discount ($25).
Another classic is the St. Louis Riverfront Cruise, which is more flexible when it comes to the time of the tour. The boats generally start departing at 10:30 am and the last boat to leave the harbor is at 7:30 pm. On this one-hour cruise, you'll be delighted by the gorgeous views of the Gateway Arch, the city, the river, and the sky. Pricing for adults starts at $24 (group pricing is also available). This cruise also offers a special Tram & Cruise Combo which gives you a $2 discount.
The Gateway Boat Cruises also offers specialty tours on the themes of holidays, parties, and whatnot. Some specialty cruises include Fireworks Cruise, Halloween Cruise, PJs & Pancakes Cruise, and NYE Cruises.
How to Get There
The Riverboats at the Gateway Arch can be found on the cobblestone levee along the riverfront at 50 S. Leonor K Sullivan Blvd. in St. Louis, Missouri. To reach the levee parking area, head down Chouteau Avenue and continue onto Leonor K Sullivan Blvd.
Please note that parking on the riverfront levee may not always be available, as it depends on the weather and river conditions.
The best way to go there is by booking a St. Louis City Tour featuring this attraction as part of the package. You'll get the convenience of pick-up and drop-off in Downtown St. Louis, as well as the bonus explorations of the city's other hotspots including the Gateway Arch.
Best Time to Visit
Summers in St. Louis are hot and muggy, and winters are just as harsh. It's better to tour during the pleasant months of spring and fall. If you're visiting St. Louis in summer by chance, consider booking the dinner/nighttime cruises so you can enjoy the outdoor atmosphere without being suffocated by the summer heat.
