2026 Season Begins!

After months of preparation, maintenance, painting, and polishing, there is nothing better than hearing the sounds of passengers boarding the boat and watching the river season come back to life. The 2026 season is officially underway aboard the Twilight Riverboat, and what a start it has been

From welcoming familiar faces back aboard to meeting firsttime guests eager to experience river travel, the opening weekend reminded us exactly why we love this tradition so much.

Each year, the Mississippi River offers something new. No two cruises are ever exactly alike. Water conditions change, wildlife appears unexpectedly along the shoreline, and every group of passengers brings their own stories, celebrations, and memories to create.

In addition to our signature overnight cruises, we are excited to continue offering our popular sightseeing cruises every Saturday throughout the summer season.

These 1.5-hour excursions are the perfect way to enjoy time on the water without committing to
a full weekend trip. Departing from and returning to LeClaire, the cruises offer guests a unique
perspective of the river and surrounding landscape while providing a relaxing and familyfriendly
atmosphere.

Complimentary iced tea and lemonade are included, and our full-service bar is available throughout the cruise for those wanting to enjoy a refreshing beverage while soaking up the scenery.

As we begin another season, we are incredibly grateful for everyone who chooses to spend their vacations with us. We look forward to welcoming returning passengers, introducing new guests to river cruising, and creating lasting memories all season long aboard the Riverboat Twilight.
