Belle of Louisville   

The Belle of Louisville, a National Historic Landmark and the most beloved symbol of our city, continues to grace us with her presence at the very site she visited so often throughout the early nineteen hundreds. With the playing of her calliope, the Belle, now in her 92nd year, continues to beckon one and all to join her on a journey back to the time when she carried passengers and goods to studioports all along the beautiful Ohio River. The majestic Ohio River, the major link between the bustling cities of the East Coast and the mighty Mississippi River, was greatly instrumental in shaping the future of the city of Louisville and to this day still captures the imagination of all who visit. It's with great pride that we share this "Legendary Lady's" history with you. The Belle of Louisville and Spirit of Jefferson are perfect charter venues for Weddings, Corporate Events, Family & Military Reunions, Proms and much more! Our studiovessels also host celebrations for some of the region's most distinctive events including: Thunder Over Louisville, The Great Steamboat Race, The Kentucky Oaks and The Kentucky Derby. Our friendly crew is here daily to assist you with reservations, gift certificates, private charters, group tours, weddings and other special occasions.
