The Riverboats Are Coming! Summer Cruising in Red Wing 2026
There is nothing quite like summer in Red Wing, especially down at Levee Park. Ever since the redevelopment of our massive Levee wall a few years ago, we’ve been able to host up to two commercial-sized riverboats at the exact same time—and we love seeing that bustling waterfront!
Starting this June, the summer cruising season kicks into high gear. We are thrilled to welcome back both Viking and American Cruise Line as they make Red Wing a key destination on their routes.
Did you know that some passengers actually begin their journey down the Mighty Mississippi right here in Red Wing, traveling all the way to New Orleans? Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a bucket-list voyage, travel packages and itineraries vary. We highly recommend checking out their individual websites to compare prices and explore their exciting ports of call.
A Special Guest is Rolling In! 🚢
This year, we have an extra special treat. We are excited to welcome the Celebration Belle, making a rare trip up from the Quad Cities! They will be offering two short-term day excursions right here on June 19th and a long full day excursion on June 20th from Red Wing to Lacrosse, WI. Spots for these unique day trips will go fast, so be sure to head over to their website to secure your tickets and get more information.

See you down at the Levee!
