The river boat Twilight based in LeClaire, Iowa
A midwest trip that I highly recommend is a cruise on the river boat Twilight that is based in LeClaire, Iowa. This Quad City area attraction is a hidden gem. John and I truly enjoyed our two day cruise last Fall and it was a perfect relaxing getaway. We departed from LeClaire by 8am and spent a relaxing day cruising up river to Dubuque. The weather was lovely and our captain told us wonderful facts about the history of the river and towns as well as information about modern day navigation and shipping. Our trip took us through two sets of locks and dams on the upper Mississippi, which is an interesting navigational process. At another location we waited for a bridge master to open a railroad swig bridge so we could continue our journey north.
Meals were wonderful on board and the staff were very helpful which truly made our voyage a delightful experience. Live music both afternoons was a treat and really added to the vibe of a riverboat journey from the 1800s. Our overnight hotel stay in Dubuque was very comfortable and we had time to catch a few Dubuque attractions before our return trip to LeClaire on day two. What a great way to enjoy the river and relax!
Views were awesome from any of the 3 decks!
Plan your voyage for the 2024 season. With a variety of cruises from a couple of hours sightseeing to
2 day overnight trips there are options for every budget. The Twilight is in operation from May thru October so plan a trip! Visit https://riverboattwilight.com
Happy adventuring!
