A stunning spectacle - a symphonic blend of steam, sound and scenery!
The Steamboat Symphony is one of our most famous and amazing cruises! Nowhere else can you find three historic paddle steamers operating in parade formation on such a regular basis, amidst such breathtaking scenery! The nautical maneuvers, as they are performed by the skilled captains, are both visually impressive and entertaining to watch. They are underlined by a classical music score which lends a majestic sense of grandeur to the entire cruise experience. Go ahead, you may call this "showboating"!
