About

Get a new perspective of St. Louis’ working riverfront aboard the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch. The Tom Sawyer, a 19th-century replica, transports guests to a time when steamboats ruled the river, and cruises are narrated by captains from the National Park Service, who bring the history of the Mighty Mississippi to life. Whether visitors choose a one-hour sightseeing cruise, two-hour brunch cruise or two-hour dinner cruise, they’ll learn about the river’s role in the country’s history as well as its impact on St. Louis’ economy to this day.
