Experience autumn in the Midwest from the alluring viewpoint of the Upper Mississippi River aboard the American Queen, and see the rich burst of color that grows ever more spectacular as you head north from Missouri to Minnesota. Following two nights in St. Louis, home to gorgeous urban parks and the famed, high-rising Gateway Arch, embark on a steamboating adventure as you cruise among the multi-hued splendors of fall. Stop in Hannibal, the boyhood home of Mark Twain, and board the Twainland Express train for an authentic look at riverside life in America. Visit Dubuque, “The Masterpiece of the Mississippi,” and stroll through its vibrant revitalized riverfront. In La Crosse, see Grandad Bluff, described by Mark Twain himself in Life on the Mississippi; and in picturesque Red Wing, let the past come to life on a walking tour of its many historic sites. Your journey concludes in St. Paul, Minnesota’s historic capital, a cultural city rich with fascinating museums and lovely parks.
