Overall good, with issues

Overall, this is a beautiful display piece. It really looks great. But, while there are "play" features to it, like the geared paddle wheel, it is in no way suitable for play. The rudder is only attached by a single stud, and is insanely easy to knock off, and pain to re-attach once the paddle-wheel is in place. The upper levels cannot be detached to see the interior without taking apart the boarding ramp rigging.
As a display piece this model really, really, would benefit from a light kit. Without it, much of it is shadowed and detail is lost.

I would recommend this to a friend!
Response from LEGOBy Priv, LEGO® Customer Service, September 20, 2025
Thank you for sharing your building experience and your review on your set! We would suggest double checking your build around the rudder as there may be a piece slightly off from where it is meant to be and to make sure all pieces are tightly pressed together to make sure the rudder stays in place. You should also be able to access the upper level by detaching the top piece without needing to remove the pieces that the boarding ramp rigging is attached to/sitting on top of. Please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help troubleshoot and get your River Steamboat cruising!

Knew I needed it the second it was announced. I see plenty of river boars all summer. Really fun boat. Really fun build. Has as much detail as the Icons buildings.

I have always loved Lego and recently was able to start getting into building them. I would say this is my most challenging build so far, but one I loved every step of the way. It was fun and so many hidden little details made it even more special.
