About River City Star

When a major flood hit the Missouri River in 2011, it drastically changed the riverfront, creating new sights across its banks. With this fresh face, the river serves as a scenic stage for tours on the River City Star, a riverboat featured in USA Today's August 2009 article “10 Great Places to Stream Through Cities”.

At the wheel of a classic, double-decker riverboat is one of River City Star's two captains, Captain Ken or Captain Steve. Accompanied by an expert crew, the captains ferry passengers over the serene waters that make up Omaha's riverfront. They pass by antique structures such as the historic Old Iowa-Nebraska Swing Bridge, and newer fixtures including the Bob Kerry Pedestrian Bridge, described in USA Today as “a one-of-a-kind design that looks like an art installation across the river.”

The River City Star offers several different cruises including lunch cruises, dinner cruises with live entertainment, party cruises, and more. Back on land, the palm trees and amazing views at the River City Star Landing and the Kon-Tiki-O lend a tropical feel to private and public events such as concerts, weddings, and corporate outings.

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the greatest as it was raining and cold but the experience was pretty neat. The only thing that I agree with from other users was louder speakers. When it’s pretty crowded it’s almost impossible to hear what they are saying. Lived here 14 years and didn’t even know this was here. Going to head back to try the Tiki bar boat!
