Mark Twain Riverboat — Attraction in Hannibal

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip! The menu link on the website was not working and I have a picky eater, but there was plenty to eat for everyone. It was surprisingly moist and flavorful chicken with sauces, roast beef chunks, baked potato, pasta salad, absolutely amazing tossed salad with homemade dressings, and green beans and rolls. This is what someone else posted on TripAdvisor from quite a while ago and it matched my meal, so I don't think the menu changes. It was surprisingly delicious.

I definitely suggest buying tickets in advance. I booked several months before our trip because this was one of the highlights of the trip for me. When we were sat, we appeared to be what would have been the first table sat at the window seats if It was decided in order of booking date. There were a bunch of tables in the middle that did not have a window seat that were also full. I can't help but wonder if those are the people who booked later or the day of the tour. I have no proof of this, but I did book my tickets several months in advance and we were closest to the stage, closest to the buffet, and had a window seat. So it was an amazing seat for the same price people paid for center seats.

Be sure that you arrive at least 20 minutes early! You will receive a text with your tickets and reminders the day before. That text will have a calendar countdown to when the event begins. The countdown takes you to the moment that the ship leaves. It left very promptly and there were several tables with reserved signs on them that were not present. If you go off of the countdown that is connected to your ticket text, you will miss the ship.

Also be aware that there is a train track that goes through the parking lot and would prevent you from accessing the dock. Some of those trains are very...

Absolute perfect experience from the minute we got on the boat.it felt like we are on the titanic. Of course, it's scaled down but very fancy.With the jazz band playing as we walked on the boat. The crew were absolutely incredible and the service was quick. They do not mess around. Our meal was on table before we knew it. The food was absolutely delicious.every single bite made us go mmmm.. We got on when the sun was still up but got to watch it set as jazz was playing im background. They also have a full bar with a lot of selections. My only complaint (and its not really a complaint) is that it doesnt last longer than two hours. I'm not complaining about the price at all.I would have paid double or triple for what this offers. I just wish it was a 4 or 5 hour deal.Because I love the boat so much and the atmosphere. Absolutely Perfect with zero...

On the 10/16/25 dinner cruise. Started off great, right on time. Went up the river but turned back to the dock after a short bit. Turns out, a group of about 20 missed the departure, so the boat returned to pick them up. They got on and then to add insult to injury they ate first. We lost 20 minutes coming back to the dock to pick up stragglers. This time was not made up and we had an abbreviated physical distance of travel on the river. It also meant we had less daylight to enjoy the river while on the deck after dinner. Pretty disappointing to those of us who were on time. Food was pretty good, singer was good. It was great that the music was not blaring as it so often is at...
