Queen City Riverboats

Our Boats

The Spirit of Cincinnati carries the paddlewheel tradition for Queen City Riverboats, and our sister yacht The Destiny sails under her own flag from the same dock.

Spirit of Cincinnati

A classic paddlewheel experience

The Spirit of Cincinnati is an authentic sternwheel paddlewheeler, the kind of boat that once crowded the Cincinnati riverfront three deep. She carries up to 220 guests across a climate-controlled main deck and an open-air top deck, with a full-service bar, a dance floor, and a professional sound system, and she sails every private charter and public cruise Queen City Riverboats runs from Dayton, Kentucky.

Up to 220 guests
132 seated dining
