The downriver boat launch and adjacent parking lot at Riverside Park will temporarily close Tuesday, Sept. 22, as Muscatine welcomes the American Serenade, a river cruise vessel operated by American Cruise Lines. The closure will run from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. near the Iowa Avenue entrance to Riverside Park.
The vessel is expected to arrive around 10 p.m. Monday, with passengers visiting Muscatine from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday before departing at 1 p.m. The upriver boat launch will remain open during the visit. The stop is part of American Cruise Lines’ 2026 Mississippi River cruise season and will bring visitors to Muscatine’s riverfront, downtown shops, attractions and historic areas.
