Belle of Cincinnati

The Belle of Cincinnati is an American sternwheel riverboat. She was built in 1991, originally named Emerald Lady and was used as a floating casino in Burlington, Iowa.

The boat is currently owned by BB Riverboats and operates from Newport, Kentucky on the Ohio River. Newport is across the river from Cincinnati, the namesake of the boat. She is used for excursions in the Cincinnati area and also make occasional trips to other Ohio River ports.

The Belle of Cincinnati contains four decks with a length of 225 feet and a width of 50 feet.

Since 2009, the Belle of Cincinnati has travelled to Louisville each May to participate in the Great Steamboat Race, replacing the inactive Delta Queen in the race.
