Holidays on the Ohio River are a unique opportunity to ride on one of Cincinnati’s prized historical features, BB Riverboats. With special boat rides tailored to family experiences, kids and adults alike love cruises on the stern-wheel steamboats.
Ben Bernstein and Betty Blake gave BB Riverboats its name in 1979 when the success of their riverboat dining made the Port of Cincinnati the place to be. In its current location on Riverboat Row in Newport, families are welcomed on board the Belle of Cincinnati for two hour trips up and down the Ohio River.
In December, BB Riverboats hosts family holiday cruises with a grand buffet, local DJ, and all of the holiday adornments. With photo-ops galore, kids love exploring the riverboat’s bow, stern, and multi-level decks while viewing homes lit with holiday lights from Mt. Adams to Covington. Dress warm- the best spot for viewing is in the open air of the top deck!
For a party like no other, join BB Riverboats on December 31 for a 12p countdown, pirates, princesses, & superheroes, a DJ, party favors, and lunch buffet. Join your kids in excitement as BB Riverboats welcome in the New Year.
Adventures down the river are year-round and include an Easter cruise with the main bunny himself, Mother’s + Father’s Day brunch & dinner, princess & superhero cruises, and many more!
BB Riverboats is located at 101 Riverboat Row in Newport, KY.
