Immaculately trimmed in mahogany, brass and bronze, and offering four opulent staterooms, Covington Houseboat makes for one of the most stylish holiday settings you could possibly imagine, with downtown St. Paul both visible and within easy reach.

In her former life, Covington Houseboat was a work vessel for company executives and VIPs – and it shows.  Salvaged fixtures, historic pieces and elegant furnishings add to the beauty of the light-filled rooms aboard this beautifully tiered vessel.

Discover a comfortable salon aboard too, furnished with cosy couches and scenic window-front tables.  A selection of historic maritime books are available in the library, while delicious gourmet breakfasts are whipped up in the galley.

Your Stateroom comes equipped with an indulgent bathtub, deck access, and even a working fireplace for when the weather is colder.   If all that doesn’t provide quite enough relaxation, there is no distracting television, and you can even arrange an in-room massage.

Meanwhile, the delights of St. Paul are discovered in just a short walk across the bridge, including The Capitol, theatre shows, shopping and plenty of fine dining opportunities.  Indulge to your heart’s content, and then head back to the soothing sanctuary of the Covington Houseboat – where luxury floats.
