But, Pittsburgh has shed its image as a dingy, industrial town to emerge as a world leader in the green building movement. Even though I have visited Pittsburgh many times going back to my college days (1980s, y’all), I learned a lot about the city on our cruise. I also enjoyed seeing the beautiful architecture of this city dedicated to green construction. Relax with a hot-stone massage, one of over 50 specialty treatments offered.

The tour plays out much like you'd expect a 60-minute boat cruise to do. You do a quick loop around the rivers, learn a few facts about the city (some of which were sadly, incorrect), receive a few bad restaurant recommendations, and go on about your day. A typical tourist boat cruise, and in Pittsburgh one that has a fairly incredible backdrop to enjoy. No matter the time of day, odds are good you can look to the rivers near downtown Pittsburgh and see these iconic blue, gold, and red riverboats ferrying passengers or giving a water-level city tour. Watch the river go by as you enjoy a grand luncheon buffet from the decks of our riverboat. As you take in the sights, the captain fills you in on the history of the city and other points of interest you don’t want to miss.
The Grand Concourse Brunch is a Classic Pittsburgh Tradition

Of course, all Pittsburgh river tours take you past Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You’ll also pass under the iconic Pittsburgh bridges that define this cityscape.

There are many places to park, but if going specifically for a cruise tours, park in the parking lot adjoining the Gateway Clipper launch site for your convenience. We took our trip, a historical perspective of Pittsburgh, down the three rivers that define the Pittsburgh landscape. As we admired the architecture of this truly American city, we learned about George Washington’s escapades here early in his career. We also learned about how the confluence of the three rivers and the industrial revolution shaped this city. As Pittsburgh residents, we've seen these boats for many years but oddly enough had never taken one. Naturally, since founding this site we wanted to change that and finally made the trip down to Station Square to take a sightseeing cruise at the end of peak season.
