Louisville, Ky. - Louisville’s favorite steamboat, the historic Belle of Louisville, will begin her 99th cruising season with an Easter Brunch for the whole family on March 31, 2013.

This cruise will be the first time that the Belle has left the wharf since early November of last year, and will start off a jam packed season of cruises.

Typically, no animals are allowed aboard the steamboat, though sources at the Belle say the Easter Bunny will be in attendance for dancing and photo opportunities!

Belle’s Easter Brunch cruise will board at 12:30 p.m. and cruise from 1 to 3 p.m. There will be an Easter buffet offered for package tickets.

If you are just looking to spend quality time on the river, sightseeing-only tickets are also available. Tickets can be purchased at www.belleoflouisville.org or by calling (502) 574-2992.
