The BB Riverboat Cruise Experience
Cincinnati has a rich nautical history — one out of every four steamboats built in the United States were constructed here. And many of Cincinnati’s earliest inhabitants arrived in the city by boat, so it is fitting to take a boat tour to explore the history of the city. During the hour and a half long tour, your guide will provide an informative and entertaining overview of the history of Cincinnati. You’ll experience the harbor just as it was when it served as the lifeblood of the city. Snacks and beverages are available from the bars and gift shops on each boat.
- Bring your camera, there will be ample opportunities to take photos of the historic Cincinnati skyline.
- Bring some cash for souvenirs from the gift shop as well as snacks and drinks from the bar.
