Kentucky Derby®
Experience the most prestigious event in the "sport of kings."

As the immortal lyrics and melody of Stephen Foster's “My Old Kentucky Home” rise above the crowd, you'll see more than a few Derby Day racing fans wipe away a tear or two. When you travel aboard the Delta Queen® during our Kentucky Derby Vacation, you'll feel a twinge of nostalgia for the good ole days of horse racing.

The cruise is a celebration of the most prestigious event in the sport of kings, and there'll be plenty of mint juleps available to put everyone in the spirit for the grand finale, the “Run for the Roses”!

In 2006, our Kentucky Derby Vacation on the Delta Queen will include tickets to the Derby. The race authority on this cruise will be Northern Kentucky University professor/author Jim Claypoole, Kentucky Derby expert for the Smithsonian®.

Join us to experience the fun of our Kentucky Derby Vacation. From start to finish, this is one of the most exciting cruises we offer.
