Belle of Louisville Riverboats

We had a great time today at the unveiling of a new Hometown Hero banner honoring champion boxer Jimmy Ellis.

Barbara Sexton Smith gave Jimmy Ellis’s brother, Jerry, a Belle of Louisville Riverboats Challenge Coin and delivered some inspiring remarks.

Thanks to Terry Meiners for emceeing, and to Jerry for a touching tribute to his brother. We are a city of champions!

And to the Ellises: we can’t wait to see you onboard. What an amazing story of a Hometown Hero!

We had a great day full of adorable kids on the Belle yesterday!

First, 6 and 7 year olds from the Kentucky Science Center summer camp visited for a behind-the-scenes tour to learn about S.T.E.A.M. through… well, steam!

Then, the Louisville Free Public Library came by to lead a pirate-themed storytime on our Kids Cruise. Was it the first time in 112 years that a pirate puppet crashed our dance party? Maybe, maybe not!

Join us this summer for family-friendly fun and leave your troubles behind on your Louisville riverboats!
