Itinerary
Day 1: Today we depart Kansas on our way to a wonderful adventure on the Mississippi River. Our travel takes us through Kansas, Missouri and the eastern edge of Iowa. This afternoon we make a stop at the Amish Country Store near Lamoni, IA, before arriving in Des Moines. Night in Des Moines.
2: Traveling east today brings us to Amana. Settled in the 1850s by members of a religious sect, the Amana Colonies are seven quaint and united villages. A local guide gives us a tour of the Amana Colonies followed by lunch in one of their restaurants. Our next stop is in Walcott, IA, at the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum which is a part of The World’s Largest Truck Stop. The museum has many rare and one of a kind trucks on display. A short ride east on I-80 brings us to our hotel in Davenport, IA.
3: Fast, elegant, and quiet as she slips through the water, the TWILIGHT, a diesel powered replica, is the most richly appointed riverboat to be launched in a hundred years. Victorian steamboat architecture inside and out pleases the eye. There are three decks with comfortable dining salons, sundecks and lounge chairs for those who wish to snooze in the sun. After the boat sets sail continental breakfast is served. The TWILIGHT takes pride in maintaining the river’s grand tradition of good and bountiful food. Our cruise today covers 94-miles up the Mississippi River to Dubuque. Lunch and dinner are served aboard both days. There are morning and afternoon snacks and complimentary coffee and iced tea are always available. Night at the Grand Harbour Hotel located on the banks of the Mississippi River in Dubuque.
4: In the morning, after a hearty breakfast, trolley service will shuttle passengers between the hotel and the National Mississippi River Museum and some of Dubuque’s other fine attractions. After a good morning in Dubuque, we board the TWILIGHT for the trip down river. As before, there is plenty to eat, historic comments by the captain, and live music. After dinner we disembark and travel to Coralville for the night.
5: Our land cruise is as pleasant as our river cruise as we glide over pleasant interstates to our home in central Kansas.
