“Rivers of Steel – Explorer Passenger Boat” Pittsburgh’s Eco-friendly River Cruise

Set sail on a tour of Pittsburgh’s three rivers with The Rivers of Steel! The 94 – foot Explorer Passenger boat is the first “green” cruise ship of its kind, accommodating up to 50 people at a time for a breath-taking and educational experience that you will certainly not forget!

Join Captain Ryan O’Rourke and his crew on board the Explorer riverboat for their “Uniquely Pittsburgh Sightseeing Tour”. 

Sit back, enjoy the breeze, and watch the Pittsburgh skyline while you travel the Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny Rivers. All while learning the stories of our region’s past. Discover the answer to the question of “What makes Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh?”
