Tour Groups

Queen City Riverboats welcomes tour groups and motor coach excursions for a unique Ohio River experience, with customizable packages including lunch or dinner cruises, sightseeing tours, and themed events.

Tour operators have trusted Queen City Riverboats for decades because a river cruise is the rare attraction that works for every guest on the bus. No walking tour, no stairs to the good views, and a hot meal served on board.

Our dock at 100 O'Fallon Avenue accommodates motor coaches with free parking and easy boarding. Groups from 30 to 250 can add lunch or dinner service, narrated sightseeing, or a themed event, and our team builds the schedule around your route.

We work with senior living communities, church groups, school programs, and tour companies across the region. One call and your group's afternoon is handled.
