My vessel of choice for the 7-day Mississippi River cruise was American Cruise Line’s Queen of the Mississippi. It’s a gleaming white five-deck 150-passenger replica of a 19th-century steamboat. They’re the ones that routinely churned up and down the river, transporting both freight and passengers. ACL proclaims itself an “All-American” line, utili...
Joining me for the voyage was my lady friend and fellow cruising enthusiast, Melinda Renner. She joined me in St. Louis a day prior to departure to give us some time to explore the city’s many attractions. St. Louis is famous, of course, for its soaring Gateway Arch, symbol of the city’s roleas “Gateway to the West.” The world’s tallest arch rises ...
Next, we walked to the nearby Old Courthouseto have a look at exhibits from the Museum of Westward Expansion. They were temporarily moved there from the Arch during construction. Our visit to the Courthouse (famous as the setting for the Dred Scott case) was enhanced with a performance by a string ensemble from the St. Louis Symphony. Later in the ...
Hannibal, MO, forever linked to the Mississippi River as the town that most inspired America’s greatest author and humorist, Mark Twain, proved the perfect first port-of-call on our voyage. Mark Twain spent his boyhood years in Hannibal. A young rascal then known as Samuel Clemens, his childhood experiences sparked his huge imagination. It lead him...
In Davenport, IA, where corn is king, we thought it appropriate to join a tour to the John Deere Pavilion. It makes perfect sense that one of the world’s major manufacturers of farm machinery is based here in the American heartland. The Pavilion (located in neighboring Moline, IL) is a massive glass and steel structure. It houses the largest displa...
The warm, sunny weather following us upriver on our Mississippi cruise became chilly for our morning arrival in Dubuque, IA. We quickly warmed to the city, however, with its revitalized riverfront that features the huge and handsome National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium– our objective for an ACL-included self-guided tour. A Smithsonian affil...
La Crosse, WI, got our vote for the most attractive and inviting town or city we visited so far during our voyage Queen of the Mississippi. It’s just plain pretty and possesses the sort of friendly, wholesome all-American atmosphere that makes you feel you’d enjoy living there. The Queen docks at lovely, leafy Riverside Park – the city’s showpiece ...
Churning ever northward toward our next destination – Red Wing, MN – the nature of the river changed dramatically, narrowing considerably and flanked by bluffs ablaze in fall foliage. Nearly everyone emerged on deck for the show and to join Marking and Funk in a game of eagle spotting. The big raptors nest in large numbers along the river in Wiscon...
Red Wing brand shoes and boots have been made there for a century – as were the famous art pottery products of Red Wing Pottery. Showrooms and museums of those two venerable companies highlighted our ACL-included tour. The Red Wing Store features a real attention-getter with its “World’s Largest Boot” exhibit. The oversized leather work boot measur...
A riverboat cruise is generally a slow-moving event, but it hardly seemed as if a week had passed as Queen of the Mississippi tied up in St. Paul, MN to bring our weeklong cruise to an end. All in all, the voyage went flawlessly. Meals were tasty, plentiful and well presented and the Queen’s officers and crew were invariably friendly and efficient....
