All aboard—cruise season is back! On March 5, the Riverboats at the Gateway Arch officially kick off the season, bringing back the iconic 1-hour St. Louis Riverfront Cruise—the most unique way to experience the Gateway Arch and mighty Mississippi River.

Step aboard a classic riverboat and enjoy a narrated journey along the St. Louis riverfront, where history, architecture, and unbeatable views come together. From sweeping skyline sights to up-close looks at the Arch from the water, this relaxing cruise offers a perspective you simply can’t get anywhere else.

Cruise Details

  • Experience: 1-Hour St. Louis Riverfront Cruise
  • Season Opens: March 5, 2026
  • Schedule: Cruises operate daily, with multiple departure times available
  • Departure Location: Riverboats at the Gateway Arch, located just steps from the Arch grounds

Tickets & Pricing
Adult Ticket (16 – 59): $26
Child Ticket (3-15): $16

Senior Ticket (60+): $24

Make It a Combo: Captain’s View
For the ultimate Gateway Arch experience, upgrade to the Captain’s View Combo Ticket. This popular combo pairs the 1-Hour Riverfront Cruise with a Tram Ride to the Top of the Gateway Arch, giving you two unforgettable views—one from the Mississippi River and one from 630 feet above St. Louis.

Whether you’re welcoming spring, visiting from out of town, or rediscovering your city, opening day of cruise season is the perfect time to get back on the river and see St. Louis from a whole new angle.

Cruise season starts March 5—see you on the water!
