About St. Paul

St. Paul, Minnesota is the northern terminus of the upper-Mississippi cruise itineraries — beyond the Twin Cities the river is no longer reliably navigable for cruise vessels. The Cathedral of St. Paul, the F. Scott Fitzgerald birthplace on Laurel Avenue, the Minnesota State Capitol and the Mall of America in adjacent Bloomington are the standard shore visits. Cruise vessels moor at the Lambert's Landing wharf below the bluff in downtown St. Paul, with the Wabasha Street caves on the opposite bank an alternative excursion.
