                       LOWER MISSISSIPPI, OHIO & TENNESSEE RIVERS

                       RACING ON THE RIVER

                       B    y any measure, the Ohio River is no mere tributary to the Mississippi, but a mighty river
A M E R I C A N

                            unto itself. On this new itinerary, you will embark on a cruise imbued with the heritage
                       of small town America and the nostalgia of America’s vibrant steamboating history. As you
                       discover the charming attractions of quaint ports that have long been guest favorites, you will
                       have the opportunity to take part in themed racing events such as a 5k run in Augusta and
                       experience the thrill of horse racing at the famed track at Churchill Downs in Louisville. But
                       racing on the river just wouldn’t seem right without the excitement of riverboat racing, so join
                       us onboard as we challenge riverboats, such as the Belle of Louisville, for a good old-fashioned
                       race on the river!
