CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - For the first time in more than a year a riverboat is stopping along the Cape Girardeau riverfront.
The American Duchess docked at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, April 8.
The coronavirus pandemic caused the riverboat tourism industry to stay grounded in 2020.
As COVID-19 restrictions ease and more people receive vaccinations, tours are set to resume for the upcoming river cruise season.
Stops from the riverboat tours have a big economic impact on downtown Cape Girardeau and they were certainly missed.
