A JOURNEY OF
Craftsmanship
The Celebration’s story began in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where she was custom-built by the renowned shipbuilders at SkipperLiner. Bringing a vessel of this magnitude to Missouri was no small teat.
The Celebration traveled across state lines in remarkable three-truck convoy, drawing attention every mile of the journey.
After a week-long journey, the hull and decks were carefully “married” and welded together on-site—bringing the ship one step closer to life.
She finally touched the fresh waters of Lake of the Ozarks at the Shawnee Bend Access ramp—beginning a legacy of unforgettable cruises and premium experiences on the lake.
Celebration is constructed of marine-grade steel and powered by two Caterpillar 3116 marine diesel engines, each generating 205 horsepower. Onboard electrical power is provided by a 50 kW Sanford generator powered by a Cummins 6BTA diesel engine.
Celebration is a United States Coast Guard–inspected vessel certified to carry up to 149 passengers and 7 crew members. Annual vessel inspections are required, and the crew must satisfactorily perform safety drills, including fire, man overboard, and abandon ship procedures.
Celebration Cruises now features four boats across two locations on one beautiful lake.
