MPAAA is happy to offer an evening event at our 2024 fall LP conference, the Bavarian Belle!  This 1-hour boat tour (7 - 8 PM) is aboard the Bavarian Belle riverboat, an authentic Stern Driven Paddlewheel riverboat.  The Captains -  Mitch, Jene, and Stan brought the Bavarian Belle from Arkansas to Michigan in 1999, and carefully restored the 150-passenger vessel.  This relaxing tour is approximately 1-hour long, accompanied by a narration from Captain Jene surrounding the history of Frankenmuth.

The Bavarian Belle is a two-story vessel, offering views of Frankenmuth's scenic Cass River from the canopied open-air upper deck and the fully enclosed lower salon. Snacks and soft drinks are available for purchase at the onboard snack bar, and bathrooms are accessible in the lower salon. The dock and lower salon are fully handicap accessible, and wheelchairs are available on board. While only soft drinks are available for purchase, you are free to bring your own alcoholic drinks aboard, should you prefer.

Please keep in mind that this tour is fully dependent on the weather and may be canceled at the discretion of the captains. Should the weather force a cancellation, the $25 registration fee will be refunded.
