On behalf of RiverBarge Excursion Lines, Inc. (REL), we are excited to learn of your interest in employment with our company. Whether you are interested in the Marine or the Hospitality industry, we are sure to have just the right place for you in our family.

The 198-guest R/B River Explorer travels America's rivers and inland waterways on 4 to 10 day excursions, exploring the heritage of nearby towns and cities in a relaxed and casual setting. RiverBarge Excursion Lines, Inc. gives guests the chance to see America differently as we go Barging Through America®.

As a crewmember on the R/B River Explorer, you will share this incredible experience with the guests who join us for a truly unique excursion. Our mission is to fulfill our guest's dreams by providing them with a once in a lifetime experience.

Being a crewmember aboard an overnight excursion vessel is a rewarding challenge. We must be able to offer a relaxed casual atmosphere, but also provide unparalleled guest service with attention to detail. It is essential that crewmembers are flexible and able to get along well with others. Working aboard the R/B River Explorer is similar to working in a deluxe hotel, only on water with crewmembers living aboard the Barge. Depending on your work schedule, crewmembers have the opportunity to explore the various ports of call and even join guests on shore activities as an escort.

The R/B River Explorer travels to six regions on America's inland waterways. The Route of Jean Lafitte excursions barge on the Lower Mississippi River, Atchafalaya River Basin and Texas-Louisiana Inland Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between New Orleans, Galveston and Brownsville. Delta South excursions barge on the Lower Mississippi River between New Orleans and Memphis. Cajuns and Creoles excursions barge on the Atchafalaya River Basin and Lower Mississippi River on New Orleans Round Trips. The Arch & The Pyramid excursions barge on the Upper and Lower Mississippi River between St. Louis and Memphis. Expanding Frontiers excursions barge on the Cumberland, Ohio, Tennessee and Mississippi Rivers between Nashville, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chattanooga and Memphis. America's Junction excursions barge on the Ohio, Upper Mississippi, Illinois and Kanawha Rivers between Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville and Pittsburgh.

The R/B River Explorer is comprised of two barges and the towboat M/V Miss Nari, its source of propulsion. It stretches over seven hundred feet (over 2 football fields long!). The lead barge, named for the explorer DeSoto, houses the public areas consisting of the Purser's Lobby, Sprague, Galley (dining room), the kitchen, Galvez Library, Crevasse Bar and crew staterooms. The second barge, named for the explorer LaSalle, is the location of our 98 identical staterooms plus one suite capable of housing 198 guests. The LaSalle Barge is also home to the Bridge Bar, Exercise Room, Whirlpool Tubs and Walking/Jogging Track all located on the open air Sky Deck.
