Cruise Through Our Five-Star Reviews
Captain Matt greeted us with a warm, welcoming smile. We found seats on the second deck right away with a nice table and a wonderful view. The captain took a genuine interest in finding out where the guests were from and held a conversation with each of them. It was nice to be on board with such a personable staff! Captain Matt handled everything with such professionalism. We will definitely revisit the Southern Belle this summer. It was a very awesome experience!
What a wonderful experience! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The crew was great, and the historical information about the bridges and the city was interesting. We have to give a shout out to Megan, the bartender onboard our 12:00 tour. Megan was AWESOME! Once she found out it was our anniversary, she went above and beyond to make us feel special. Thank you, Southern Belle, for a fabulous and memorable cruise!
We went there yesterday for my grandpa’s 93rd birthday and had a great time! We had a group of about 25 people, and they were able to accommodate us all. Everyone from the great-grandkids to the great-grandparents enjoyed it, and they even made a special announcement for his birthday. The kids loved going into the wheelhouse as well. Thank you for a great experience!
The Admirals Dinner cruise was awesome! We selected the window seat and a bottle of wine. The band, Courtney Daly and the Daly Grind were absolutely astounding. The servers were spot on, great job keeping up with drinks and such. We also order two mixed drinks and they were really good drinks, not watered-down alcohol. All and all, it was very enjoyable and a great time!

Things to Do: New Orleans Riverboat
A ride on the mississippi offers great views and a relaxing time.
Mark Twain said that the Mississippi River was a wonderful book with a new story to tell every day. Mississippi, a Chippewa Indian word that means “large river” is the life force that has shaped New Orleans history forever, defining and literally shaping the city into its famous Crescent outline. The best way to see what Mark Twain was talking about is to take a paddleboat tour along the hard working river, and travel back to the days when steam-driven river paddle wheelers were the main source of both transportation and commerce. Boat tours leave regularly from the riverfront area adjacent to Woldenberg Park, some offering music and meals, all offering cocktails and narration. So hop aboard one of these.

Alaska is ready
Make 2024 your year
Your three-hour tour will take you into the heart of Alaska and introduce you to a family who has made the rivers of Alaska their way of life for five generations.
Chena Village Living Museum
Be immersed in frontier living first hand with a guided walking tour of an Athabascan village. You’ll see an Athabascan village with cabins made of spruce logs, a cache used for storing supplies, a primitive spruce bark hut and fur pelts. Our guides will explain how the wolf, fox, martin and beaver were used to provide food and protection in the harsh Arctic climate. They will also share how the Athabascans skillfully survived for over 10,000 years and how they adapted to village life and Western culture in the past century.
At the end of your guided tour, you will have time to explore the village on your own, interact with our guides and visit dogs from Susan Butcher’s Trail Breaker Kennel.
Bush Pilot Demonstration
See an Alaskan bush pilot takeoff and land right next to the boat! ( 1 ) Our pilot will share his stories of village life and explain the vital role planes play in remote Alaska.
Trail Breaker Kennel
Visit the home and kennel of the late four-time Iditarod champion Susan Butcher as we pass Trail Breaker Kennel along the Chena River. Learn first hand about kennel life and the challenges that go into making a champion dogsled team. Dave and Tekla Monson, Susan’s husband and daughter, share stories of life on the trails as puppies play in anticipation of joining the team. Keep your cameras ready; you will not want to miss the dog mushing demonstration!
Steamboat Landing
Trading posts in the early days of Western contact were popular with people in Alaskan Villages, and that tradition continues with the Discovery Trading Post (on-board Discovery III) and Steamboat Landing (onshore). Both stores offer gifts and products that are unique to Alaska and the Native culture. To this day, we strive to follow Captain Jim’s commitment to give visitors “the best value at the best price” by offering Fairbanks’ largest selection of Alaskan souvenirs and gifts.
Discovery Dining Hall
If you are hungry, be sure to check out our Discovery Dining Hall. With seatings at 11:45 AM and 1 PM you can enjoy a full family-style meal and eat to your fill. The Discovery Dining Hall offers our hearty miner's beef stew, rustic roasted vegetables, a kale apple pecan salad, sourdough rolls and, for dessert, a German chocolate brownie. For beverages we offer iced tea, water, coffee and hot tea. Beer and wine are available for purchase as well.
Captain's Corner Grab & Go Lunch
For something quick, stop by the Captain's Corner located inside Steamboat Landing. We have fresh made sandwiches, wraps and salads ready each day. Enjoy your lunch on our beautiful outdoor deck as you soak in the sun and enjoy views of the Chena River.
Beer, wine and snacks are also available for sale aboard Discovery III.
A family business
The Binkley family’s steamboating tradition goes back over 100 years and five generations. In 1898, when Charles M. Binkley hiked over the Chilkoot Pass with other stampeders, he was not so much in search of gold as he was the chance to build and operate boats on the Yukon and its tributaries. He became a respected pilot and boat builder in the North. His son, Captain Jim Binkley, Sr., followed in his father’s footsteps and piloted freight vessels on the Yukon and Tanana Rivers in the 1940's.
As transportation systems changed in the north, railroads and airplanes began to carry much of the freight. In 1950, noting the coming changes in the freighting business, Captain Jim and his wife, Mary, began a river excursion business focusing on sharing their love of Alaska and its culture with visitors. Over the coming years, Captain Jim and Mary B’s business grew from the Godspeed, a 25 passenger vessel, to the Discovery III, a 900 passenger vessel. Today, Captain Jim’s grandchildren run the company and Mary B is still active in the business.
In addition to growing their sternwheel business, the Binkley’s have added a gold mining attraction: Gold Dredge 8. The family has developed a tour in the heart of the gold fields where the first gold strikes attracted miners from the Klondike. They have incorporated large scale industrial mining and the smaller 'Mom and Pop' side of mining into an all-encompassing tour that also features the Trans Alaska Pipeline and a replica of the Tanana Valley Railroad.

Will I see wildlife?
You will see reindeer as part of the tour at the Riverboat Discovery.
Will there be a Bush Pilot Demonstration Today?

Important Announcement Concerning the 2024 Season

Train & Boat
About the train.
Essex Steam Train & Riverboat’s 2 1/2-hour train and riverboat or 1 hour train only journeys begins at the historic 1892 Essex Station for a 12-mile, narrated round-trip into the heart of the unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. The steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches through the quintessential New England towns of Deep River and Chester. A natural highlight is the undeveloped Selden Neck State Park, accessible only by boat. Essex Steam Train offers unique access to several coves and preserves, immersing passengers in an on-board eco-excursion. The train travels near the tidal wetlands of Pratt Cove and Chester Creek — bountiful, natural habitats for birds including Cormorants, Ducks, Swans, Greenland Geese, Blue Heron, Egrets, and Red-winged Blackbirds. In February and March, the majestic Bald Eagle is the star of the show when it migrates south to the Connecticut River Valley from Canada and Maine.
2024 Operating Schedule
Please arrive 30 minutes before your departure time and check in at the Essex Station Ticket Window. No tickets will be mailed or emailed. Advance purchase is strongly suggested; walk up ticket purchase availability is not guaranteed. Tickets are non-refundable but can be exchanged for another date/time if done so 48 hours prior to your scheduled excursion. This excursion operates Rain or Shine but the the Company reserves the rights to delay, postpone or cancel the excursion.
About the Riverboat
At Deep River Landing, passengers are escorted onto the Becky Thatcher riverboat for a 1 1/4 – hour cruise along the Connecticut River. The visual serenity of the river valley is on full display from Becky ‘s multiple decks. The deep water, coves, inlets, marshes, wildlife, and rocky shoreline are, all at once, simply breathtaking!
Just as impressive are the historic sites, including Gillette Castle, Goodspeed Opera House and the Haddam Swing Bridge. Upon Becky ‘s return to Deep River Landing, the steam train welcomes passengers for the return trip back to Essex Station.

Most people in the West have probably heard of Grozny (and this cannot be said for many Russian cities), however unfortunately its fame is mainly due to more tragic reasons - having been virtually destroyed during the two Russian-Chechen Wars in the last decade of the 20th century and the first of the 21st.
However today Grozny has been completely rebuilt since the war and the city is now home to a magnificent mosque, which is often referred to as the Heart of Chechnya, and a business centre. Although many Western governments still advise against all travel to Chechnya, security has also been restored in Grozny and it is now considered one of the safest cities in the North Caucasus. The city has become a popular destination for a day trip from Kislovodsk and other Mineral Waters resorts, but there are also regular flights from Moscow .
