This Sunset Wine Cruise In Iowa Is The Perfect Summer Adventure

The view of the Mississippi from Dubuque is one of this eastern Iowa city’s top attractions. But have you seen it from ON the Mississippi? It’s possible with a trip on American Lady Cruises, a small river cruise company that sets sail daily during the spring and summer. Their evening cruise offers a delicious dinner, fine spirits, and one of the best sunset views in all of Iowa.

The odds are you've seen the American Lady taking a cruise down the Mississippi River - but have you ever been on board?

The company has been hosting small cruises out of Dubuque and sets sail several times a day on sightseeing and happy hour cruises.

However, if you want the full American Lady experience, take one of their signature sunset dinner cruises four days a week.

The cruise sets sail as the sun starts to set over Dubuque, and the fare is around $50 for a two-hour expedition including dinner.

You'll be experiencing part of the cruise in an old-fashioned dining room with great views of the river.

The meal is served buffet-style, so you'll be able to customize your plate and go back for seconds!

The fare each night changes, but will always include two meats, sides, and dessert.

Each cruise has wine and beer available for purchase, but wine lovers should keep an eye out - in the past American Lady Cruises has hosted special wine-themed cruises.

It's the perfect activity for friends to gather, share a delicious meal, and drink some delicious beverages with a view.

When you've had your fill, head to the deck with your beverage and take in the nighttime view as you head back to shore. It truly is a one-of-a-kind Iowa adventure.
