This tour features two European Cultures deeply woven into our American Tapestry. Many people believe there is a connection between them but beyond both being European immigrants there is not. The Amish are Swiss & German and any reference to Dutch is to the “Deutsch” language.

While it is difficult to describe the combo, we compare it to a ‘Tale of Two Ships. ’ “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times (or cruises).” And it is a full day of fun on The Belle Of Louisville’s Autumn Cruise Special. Followed by a visit to the recreation of Noah’s Ark, a monument to an Apocalyptic moment from the Old Testament. We take solace only in the thought that Dickens could not have compared these two ships either.

Combining the Indianapolis Speedway Museum with it’s classic racing car collection, with an Italian Gondola ride sailing under Venetian-style bridges, and the .Soaring Eagle Zip Line Ride, a 600 foot, two person, seated adventure that is as much fun to watch as it is to ride.
