When we think of most stories that are told about the Mississippi River we think of Mark Twain and his books about the southern Mississippi life but there are plenty of other Mississippi River stories to be told. You can create a few of your own while visiting the Minneapolis section of the famous American river. The best Minneapolis hotels will tell you that you really should spend some time on the river while you are visiting the area.

There are some great cruises that can be taken one of which is on the Minneapolis Queen . Climb aboard the old historic paddle boat and take a great ride on the river and or in Lake Minnetonka. There are some really beautiful views of the green edge along the cool water with the modern twin cities as the final back drop reaching to the sky.

Paradise Charter Cruises offers up the historical queen as well as some other amazing modern yachts that have wonderful decks to have a romantic lunch or dinner along the way. They are perfect for groups and special occasions with plenty of room for about 140 people to enjoy great food, drinks and dancing. It doesn’t matter if it rains or not because the fancy yachts have all enclosed areas for even the heaviest rainy days.
