As summer approaches, many passenger vessel operators are looking at the year ahead through rose-colored glasses. "I talk to a lot of people, East Coast, West Coast and Midwest," said Capt. Alan Bernstein, past president of the Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) and owner of BB Riverboats, Newport, Ky. "Many people are having a good start to the season and reporting very good advance sales for tours and charters." BB Riverboats operates two stern-wheelers on the Ohio River, the 1,000-passenger Belle of Cincinnati, and the 500-passenger River Queen. The company operates out of Newport, across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati. "Unless there is a dramatic change, we are going to have a good year," Bernstein said. |
