We’re a state full of river lovers here in Nebraska, which makes sense since we have more miles of river than any other state. For a one of a kind experience, how about enjoying a meal while cruising on one of our major rivers?

This is the Sprit of Brownville, one of the last remaining operational riverboats in Nebraska. It’s located on the Missouri River in the charming historic hamlet of Brownville in far southeastern Nebraska.

Or simply buy a ticket for one of the regular cruises and enjoy this unique summertime experience. Watching the summery trees on the riverbanks is a pretty special accompaniment to your meal.

This fun historic experience will give you a taste of what life was like 100 years ago in a river town. The food is classic Midwestern fare - meat, potatoes, and bread - and it’s hearty and delicious.
