Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Saturday - Aug 26, 2023
Alton, United States    
Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. Alton is the gateway to St. Louis, which was a passageway into the Louisiana Territory during the 19th century. In 1904, St. Louis gained recognition as host of a world's fair (officially called the Louisiana Purchase Exposition). Today, it is home to rich architectural treasures-among them, the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, with its 41-million-piece mosaic; the Renaissance Revival City Hall; the 19th-century Old Courthouse; and the Gateway Arch, standing along the Mississippi as a monument to westward expansion.
Day 2 - Sunday - Aug 27, 2023
Hannibal, United States    
Hannibal is the childhood home of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, or Mark Twain, and the inspiration for his beloved stories of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Prior to the 1803 Louisiana Purchase and arrival of European settlers, a variety of indigenous Native American tribes called the area home. Hannibal grew into the primary port for steamboats and flatboats traveling the Upper Mississippi. "The Unsinkable Molly Brown", the early 20th-century socialite, philanthropist, and survivor of the Titanic tragedy, was also born here.
Day 3 - Monday - Aug 28, 2023
Burlington, United States    
The US flag was first raised over Iowa in Burlington-in 1805-by Lieutenant Zebulon Pike during his Mississippi explorations. Later, it became an outpost for the American Fur Company, a trading enterprise founded by John Jacob Astor. In 1834, it took its present name after the Vermont birthplace of its first settler, John Gray. During the steamboat era, it was a major port along the river. Today, the city is home to many magnificent buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Art Deco Capitol Theater and the Gothic Revival St. Paul's Church.
Day 4 - Tuesday - Aug 29, 2023
Quad Cities, United States    
Straddling the confluence of the Mississippi and Rock Rivers, the Quad Cities area comprises Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa, and Rock Island, Moline, and East Moline, Illinois. As the only section of the Mississippi that flows from east to west, it is geographically unique. Its tightly knit riverside towns thrived due to thoughtful planning and effective leadership. Today, the Quad Cities rest amid the fertile farmland known as "America's Breadbasket"-the nation's most expansive and scenic agricultural region-and is home to agribusiness giants including John Deere.
Day 5 - Wednesday - Aug 30, 2023
Dubuque, United States    
One of Iowa's few cities laid out among rolling bluffs, Dubuque is called the "Masterpiece on the Mississippi" for its 19th-century ingenuity and modern-day cultural evolution. Timber and boatbuilding were central to the city's growth, with wood harvested in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The spirit of this river town lives on in the Cathedral Historic District, dotted with well-preserved buildings and authentic period lampposts. Today, the city is praised for its livability and for its riverside developments, including a museum and aquarium dedicated to the Mississippi River.
Day 6 - Thursday - Aug 31, 2023
La Crosse, United States    
La Crosse has a deep connection to the towering bluffs and rolling farmland of the Norskedalen, or "Norwegian Valley". Here, a Norwegian immigrant population has created a unique culture over generations. Historic immigrant villages dot the valley still, a collection of preserved homesteads reflecting a frontier way of life. Today, La Crosse boasts numerous sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Its important architectural landmarks, along with an array of engaging statues along the riverfront, make La Crosse feel like a vast open-air museum.
Day 7 - Friday - Sep 1, 2023
Red Wing, United States    
Red Wing is known for its Red Wing Shoes, which produced footwear for soldiers in both world wars. The city was named after a Sioux chief whose red-dyed swan wing indicated his rank. The first settlers-many from New England-arrived in the mid-1800s. German, Irish, and Scandinavian immigrants followed, bringing skills in tanning, shoemaking, pottery, and more. The city boasts a diversity of legacies including Red Wing Stoneware and Pottery, founded in 1877 as the nation's first commercial potter. Today, Red Wing enjoys a place in the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Day 8 - Saturday - Sep 2, 2023
St Paul, United States
St Paul, United States    
Located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers, St. Paul welcomed its first settler in 1838. And little more than a decade later, the thriving settlement was named the capital of the Minnesota Territory. By 1858, some 1,000 steamboats frequented this "Last City of the East" on the frontier. Today, St. Paul is a modern metropolis and the capital of Minnesota. The city's historic residential districts invite long strolls, particularly around Irvine Park near the Mississippi, where late 19th- and early 20th-century mansions grace tree-lined streets. After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home.
