Hit the high seas on a quickie escape
Illinois River Valley Steamboat Sailing
While sailing might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you picture Illinois and Missouri, USA River Cruises’ Peoria to St. Louis itinerary has redefined the landscape of this slice of Middle America. In the 3 days it takes to sail from Peoria (which National Geographic Adventure recently named as one of the “50 next great American adventure towns in which to live and relax”) to storied St. Louis – and back again – you’ll take in sights like the convergence of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, Illinois’ largest state park, and Saint Louis’ iconic Gateway Arch. Sail onboard the Spirit of Peoria, a 19th century riverboat replica, and look out for wildlife as you relax on the deck, dig in on the prime rib dinner buffet, or enjoy live ragtime piano music. Note overnight accommodations are arranged at hotels in area ports of call.
