RiverBarge Excursions

Hear the captain's radio communications with his crew. And with other vessels on the river. Check out the radar screen in the Pilot House. Go to the Galley for a midnight snack. Enjoy deliciously-prepared meals with new-found friends—we feature open seating—or grab an early morning cup of coffee and a bit of solitude up on the Sky Deck.

We offer concierge services, incredibly diverse recreational opportunities and friendly, courteous BargeMates who can always be counted on to help you enjoy your trip. We go out of our way to please you, with special offboard activities along the way.

Make yourself at home. Travel light if you want to; there's a free self-service laundry onboard. Our staterooms are spacious, clean and comfortable with super queen or twin beds, satellite TV, VCR, refrigerator, phone, full-size tub and shower, BIG picture windows and much more. The Galley's always open. You can raid the 'fridge—even if it isn't meal time and we've got a Blue Plate Special that lives up to its name. Or you can satisfy your sweet tooth with the goodies from our now famous Perpetual Cookie Jar.

No matter how you spend your time onboard the R/B River Explorer, you'll find there's a virtually endless supply of things to enjoy.  

See America. Differently.
We specialize in adventure, taking you to places that are off the beaten path. Places that the interstate bypassed, where a river has defined the culture and given a region a sense of place. Give us 4-10 days and we'll give you a whole new way of looking at America.
