Lake Mead Cruises

Only minutes from the glitter and glamour of Las Vegas is a very different kind of fun! Just a short drive from the valley of neon lies another world – Lake Mead and the mighty Hoover Dam.

The waters of Lake Mead are home to the beautiful, roomy, comfortable, smooth excursion vessel of Lake Mead Cruises, the delightful paddlewheel vessel, the Desert Princess. The Desert Princess was built especially to cruise the clean, blue waters of picturesque Lake Mead. Visitors and locals alike can enjoy a fun combination of spectacular scenery, good food and “Outrageously Great Tours!” on beautiful Lake Mead aboard the Desert Princess.

The pride of Lake Mead Cruises, the Desert Princess is a three-level paddle wheeler certified by the U.S. Coast Guard for 275 passengers and 10 crew-members. She’s spaciously equipped with two climate-controlled enclosed decks and an open promenade deck—perfect for taking in the cool, clean air and wondrous sights. With plenty of room to move around and get comfortable, ample outdoor deck space to take photographs and videos, and a smooth ride, the Desert Princess makes for an unforgettable Lake Mead experience.
