PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - This isn't your ordinary riverboat.

'American Countess,' which is part of the American Queen Steamboat Company, has made its way to Pittsburgh.

The massive vessel is one of the newest members of the company's fleet. This boat is described as a combination of "old paddle wheelers with a contemporary design."

You can have the chance to board this ship and take a cruise from Louisville, Kentucky and end up right here in Pittsburgh.

From Louisville, you can travel to Madison, Indiana, then to Cincinnati, Ohio, go back down into Maysville, Kentucky, into West Virginia, Ohio, and then disembark in Pittsburgh. More information about upcoming trips can be found on the company's website.
