UPDATE AS OF 1pm: Our sold out Wine and Dine will operate AS SCHEDULED on the MAJOR RIVIERA TONIGHT!

WEATHER UPDATE SATURDAY MAY 30TH!

For guests who were hoping to visit us this afternoon, please be aware of a change to today’s schedule.

The water levels are preventing the Major/Riviera to operate on the ohio river this afternoon. In hopes to preserve an almost sold out event, the Mystery Picnic cruise has been combined with the narrated sightseeing tour.

THE VALLEY GEM WILL OPERATE ONE 2-HR tour from 12-2pm. Boarding will begin at 11:30am this morning. We are still offering walk up prices of $18, $16, and $8 and our snack shop will be open for purchases.

We have notified all guests that have previously reserved by phone and email. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we try to operate amidst weather changes.

We’ve had numerous questions regarding the remaining tours for the week. Our staff has been monitoring weather and river conditions closely. As always guest and staff safety is our top priority!

As it stands, all of our events are operating AS SCHEDULED. There may be a scenario where our trips must remain on the Muskingum River. If that occurs, ticket holders will receive notification via phone, email, and we will post on our social medias.

Please keep an eye out for additional correspondence and know that we’re working hard to stay informed but also stay open.

Back by popular demand is the Super Sleuth Series: Catch a Murderer dinner cruise!

Unlike our Murder Mystery plays that tell a story, on this cruise, the killer is among you and you have to figure out who it is. Before each event, guests will have the opportunity to volunteer or be asked to be the killers. There will be activities, clues, hints and votes throughout the dinner cruise to give you chances to figure out who the killler(s) are. All will be revealed at the end.

This was a really fun event last season and we are thrilled to be bringing back for 2026.
