B    y any measure, the Ohio River is no mere tributary to the Mississippi, but a mighty
     river unto itself. On this new itinerary, you will embark on a cruise imbued with the
heritage of small-town America and the nostalgia of America’s vibrant steamboating
history. As you discover the charming attractions of quaint ports that have long been
guest favorites, you will have the opportunity to take part in themed racing events such
as a 5K run in Augusta, and experience the thrill of horse racing at the famed track at
Churchill Downs in Louisville. But racing on the river just wouldn’t seem right without
the excitement of riverboat racing, so join us onboard as we challenge riverboats, such as
the Belle of Louisville, for a good old-fashioned race on the river!
