The Sightseeing Cruise

The Sightseeing Cruise is for the guest who is interested in a two hour boat ride to enjoy the sights and sounds of the river with no food service included.  Usually scheduled for a 12:00 pm start time, there are days when the schedule will be altered, so please make note of your cruise's start time.


It is NEVER acceptable to bring food and beverages aboard the American Lady.


On a typical day, our Captain will take us north to Lock and Dam 11 and then turn south and travel to the southern edge of the city where you can see the Julien Dubuque Monument high on a bluff in the Mines of Spain State Park.  From there, we turn north and return to our dock in the Dubuque Yacht Basin.


  • $22.95 + sales tax
  • Those 3 years of age and younger ride free
  • Check-in inside our Ticket Office up to 45 minutes before your cruise's start time to receive your boarding pass
  • Boarding starts 15 minutes before the cruise's start time
  • Soft drinks are included in the price of your ticket, and wine, liquor, and beer, as well as snacks, are available for purchase.
  • Because this cruise is a frequent sell-out, reservations are strongly suggested and payment is needed when reservations are made
  • We require a 48 hour notice of cancellation for a refund


Sightseeing Cruise guests share the  boat ride with our Lunch Cruise guests, and the aromas of the roasted and grilled meats with all their side dishes are intoxicating!  You may want to read the details about our Lunch Cruise before you decide to pass on the this great meal!
