Why you should go…

Board the Tom Sawyer or Becky Thatcher for a narrated one-hour cruise along the Mississippi, with unbeatable photo angles of the Gateway Arch and the working river. Evening dinner and blues cruises turn it into a full night out. It's the most relaxing way to see St. Louis the way travelers have for two centuries, from the water.
