Meet us on the Mississippi

Beautifully restored Historic Downtown La Crosse is Home port for the Julia Belle Swain Steamboat. Capture the Spirit of a bygone era-experience the sounds and excitement of an authentic steamboat cruise on the legendary Mississippi River! You'll feel you've been transported back into the 1800s. The Julia Belle Swain is one of only 5 authentic steam powered passenger vessels still operating on the Mississippi River, and has logged well over 1 million miles.

Relax and watch the River from Mark Twain's viewpoint or walk the decks and soak up some flavor of the past, either way your cruise on the Julia Belle Swain is a one of a kind experience you'll always treasure.
