Reservations are easy, Boarding was on time and easy. Departure and Return was right on schedule. Great audio of local history and info about the Missouri River. Very enjoyable and reasonable price. They do serve beverages aboard the boat.

We booked the one-hour "happy hour" cruise. There was nothing wrong with it per se--we were seated on the top deck (arrive at least 30 minutes early to get a spot in line), the boat left on time, etc. But we were expecting a narrated tour, and what we got instead was less than 20 minutes of choppy, pre-recorded audio about the Lewis & Clark expedition. Rather than a story, it seemed to be a series of separate clips, each introduced with its own music, lasting a sentence or two, and then with a music outro, followed by a bit of silence before the next clip. We could have gotten the same information on Wikipedia--the fact that it was on the riverboat added precisely nothing to our understanding or experience. For the rest of the cruise, the speakers played 80s and 90s pop music. We were expecting some of the narration to be about what we were passing on the shore, but there was none...possibly because the scenery on the shore wasn't all that special either: some nice homes and a restaurant, but that was about it. There were a few interesting buildings, bridges and parks that probably had stories behind them, but those remained untold. Also be aware that the riverboat is actually a modern motorized vessel made to sort of resemble a paddle-wheeler. The faux paddlewheels on the sides are just for effect, though. They turn even when the boat is at the dock. All in all, it was not an unpleasant trip, but more of a tourist trap than a memorable experience. Unless you really have an urge to cruise a fairly mundane section of the Missouri River, save your money and visit the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Bismarck instead.

What a fun adventure! A small group of us did the sunset tour last night and it did not disappoint! The boat was super clean and adorable! The staff was extremely friendly and there was a full bar on board! The River was absolutely beautiful. I would suggest doing the sunset tour, as the views were breathtaking. I could not get over the cotton candy sky while we were slowly cruising down the river. I would say this is a must if you find yourself in Bismarck. Such a cool experience! I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because my drinks were horrible. I asked for a margarita and it was the smallest amount of tequila and then filled the rest of the way with a mixer that was so sweet, I couldn't even drink it. We tried again and told them about it, and the second one was just as bad and pretty much went straight in the garbage. So that was a huge bummer. Other than that, this was a really fun activity! I'd recommend it to everyone!

Beautiful sunset on the water

Cute riverboat!

The ticket price is $19 and to me it's worth it. The tour length is 1.5 hours and we opted for the sunset tour. It goes down the Missouri River at a slow pace and serves refreshments, cocktails, snacks. Other cruise options have dinner, pizza, theme nights. I wish that a tour guide might come on staff and give some local insight and history, but it was fine also being quite and just enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Lewis, Clark, Sacajawea.

While my boyfriend was slaving away in the North Dakota heat, I decided to entertain myself by taking a trip down the Missouri River on the Lewis & Clark Riverboat. I booked the 3-4 pm Thursday, and it was just the right amount of people. The upper deck is shaded, but after a good 10 minutes in that humidity, I retired to the lower deck, which was nicely air conditioned. There's a bar on the lower deck with beer/wine, sodas, water, and snacks. One of the employees also goes up top to take drink orders before the cruise begins. The cruise takes 1 hour, and it's a very calm and nice ride, accompanied by recorded facts of the area and of Lewis & Clark's expedition. I would probably recommend an evening cruise if you're looking to relax and have a romantic time with your significant other. The cruise itself is nothing special, but it's a good way to see the Missouri River up close, and the experience is fun. For only $13.95, I would definitely recommend it.

We just enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise on the riverboat. It was a thoroughly enjoyable cruise -- so relaxing. The cruise was 1.5 hours of slowly gliding down the river and back. They serve beverages and snacks downstairs. We sat upstairs near the rear. It was perfect.

We booked the 6pm dinner evening cruise for a Sunday night. We got there at 5:45 the top of the boat was already filled up so we had to sit downstairs inside. Didn't bother us as it has ample windows and cool AC. When the boat first went off the downstairs seemed really loud with the motor right under us, but once we got cruising it was fine. The "dinner" cruise is two slices of pizza: cheese, pepperoni, or sausage. There's a bar once you walk in. We only had beer which is $4 a piece. Not sure about the liquor. The boat ride itself is very relaxing. I had gone with the expectation of learning something, but instead just heard light music playing. I would say it's romantic but I didn't really think so. Kinda just boating down the river looking at people's houses. Don't think I would recommend it unless you're looking to kill time while doing something unique.

My husband and I were really looking forward to the riverboat cruise. We were expecting some sort of narration regarding the river and about Lewis and Clark expeditions and surrounding area. We are from out-of-state and would have enjoyed the cruise more learning about the river and North Dakota. An explanation of safety rules should have been given to all of the passengers. Finally, our 1 1/2 hour cruise which was paid for was only 1 hour and 13 minutes!

Well, I wish I had feedback but do to the fact my husband and I drove all the way up to celebrate our Anniversary weekend only to have the cruise cancelled our feedback is not great. The customer service is severely lacking and downright rude. The woman at the desk tried to somehow make the fact they cancelled the cruise due to lack of people OUR FAULT. We are awaiting our refund, oh yeah, she was rude about that too, the printers were down so she couldn't give us a confirmation of a refund.... We have tried three times in three years to have our anniversary cruise, was even planning our 15th Anniversary on a private Vow Renewal cruise......that ain't happening. Bottom line, poorly managed and poor customer service. Not recommended to plan in advance.

Had my family in from out of state and decided this would be a fun thing to do while they were here. It was okay..Here are some points to take into consideration.. Good Point: You can choose your experience, whether you just want to take a quick cruise, or a long relaxing night with dinner. Bad Point: This obviously runs during the summer where bee activity is high. There were a couple of bee's nests on board and had a tough time figuring where to sit.

Follow the Lewis & Clark Expedition on American Cruise Lines voyage

On Oct. 16, 1805, the expedition reached the confluence of the Snake and Columbia rivers where Clark estimated that Native Americans had 10,000 salmon drying on wooden racks in preparation for their primary winter food source.

Descending the Columbia River, the group struggled to portage around the 38-foot Celilo Falls. Downstream, as the river funneled between massive rock formations, Clark wrote on Oct. 24, “I determined to pass through this place notwithstanding the horrid appearance …whirling in every direction which, from the top of the rock did not appear as bad as when I was in it.”

However, Clark added, “we passed safely to the astonishment of all the Indians of the last lodges, who viewed us from the top of the rock.”

Expedition members gazed in awe at the beautiful Columbia River Gorge where the river cuts through the Cascade Mountains and camped near a basalt monolith towering more than 800 feet above the river. There, they first noticed the river’s repeating tidal rise and fall and the formation still bears Clark’s “Beacon Rock” name, noting they were nearing the ocean.

In the wide bay near the river’s mouth near today’s Astoria, Oregon, storms formed enormous waves that forced the expedition to take refuge in a cove for six days. On his map, Clark descriptively labeled the place as the “Dismal Nitch.”

Finally, the group traveled their last few miles to the ocean. Patrick Gass triumphantly wrote on Nov. 16, “We are now at the end of our voyage, which has been completely accomplished according to the intention of the expedition.”

The objective, Gass wrote, “was to discover a passage by the way of the Missouri and Columbia rivers to the Pacific Ocean, notwithstanding the difficulties, privations and dangers, which we had to encounter, endure and surmount.”

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
