Join us on an
unforgettable 5-day “Lou & Linda
Adventures” bus trip to experience one of
Kentucky’s most unique traditions — The Great
Steamboat Race, held every year during Derby
Week, just before the famous Kentucky Derby!
Our journey took us down the beautiful Ohio River, traveling from Cincinnati, Ohio to Louisville, Kentucky aboard the historic Belle of Cincinnati steamboat. Along the way, we enjoyed scenic river views, relaxing paddlewheel charm, and plenty of fun with fellow travelers.
The highlight? Watching (and riding in!) the exciting annual race between the Belle of Cincinnati and the legendary Belle of Louisville — a true riverboat showdown with history, tradition, and plenty of excitement!
The steamboat race was the main attraction, but the adventure didn’t stop there.
Along the way, we enjoyed several memorable side trips, including a visit to see where the famous Louisville Slugger baseball bats are made. We also toured the legendary Churchill Downs and spent time exploring the fascinating Kentucky Derby Museum, learning more about the history and tradition of the Kentucky Derby.
And on the trip home? A first for me — we stopped at a Buc-ee's (yes, the famous giant travel stop!), making for a memorable ending to a great trip.
