Queen Of The Mississippi Docks at Hannibal

(HANNIBAL)—They’re back. After a four year absence, two big cruise boats are back on the Mississippi.

The Queen of the Mississippi docked at Hannibal early Sunday morning. About 140 passengers are on the initial trip up the Mississippi along with a crew of 35. Many businesses in downtown Hannibal opened up early on a Sunday for the passengers.

Four additional cruises will stop in Hannibal by the end the season late this fall.
