M.S. Dixie II - 6.27.2007

Year-round, the M.S. Dixie II offers daily sightseeing cruises to Emerald Bay as well as Sunset Dinner Dance Cruises. The luxurious paddlewheeler M.S. Dixie first came to Lake Tahoe in 1949 and has created a tradition of hospitality since then. Retired in 1993 and replaced by the state-of-the-art M.S. Dixie II, the tradition is alive today in Tahoe's newest and largest stern-wheeler. The new stern-wheeler has three decks and is 151-feet long. It is U.S. Coast Guard certified for up to 570 passengers. The M.S. Dixie II was originally constructed on the headwaters of the Mississippi, then transported over 2,000 miles on transport rigs nearly a football field in length, to its home port here in historic Zephyr Cove Resort & Marina.
