Savannah Riverboat Cruises
Rolling on the River
Back to Savannah Riverboat Cruises
I do not recommend the Riverboat tour unless you are an "industrial scenary" enthusiast. Nothing like the refreshing rotten smell of waste water from the paper mill! mmmm. My favorite part was when the tour guide pointed out the heeping pile of scrap metal, destined for China. Additionally, the pile of wood telephone poles was equally attractive. This cruise was relaxing, until lunch was finished and all the obnoxious middle school children came up to the third deck. $60 was wasted on this tour. Don't waste your time and money on it, there are plenty other exciting things to see or do in Savannah.

Took my fiance to their Valentine's Day dinner cruise. I thought it would be romantic because they advertised classic 30s-40s hits, and a catered dinner. $50 per ticket, it's gotta be good, right?

The tour was BORING. If you like looking at freighters in dock and hearing (when you could understand what was being said) about the cargo on board and where the freighters were from then you might be interested in this tour. The river smelled like a sewer.

The title is very misleading, "Savannah's Riverboat Cruises". It should be called "A floating tour of cargo ships and dirty, smelly, run down factories. The scenery was far nicer on route 95. Guess there is a reason that there is a "No refund" policy in affect. Ended up being a 50 minute tour, and only first 2 and last 3 minutes of tour are of attractive riverfront (the same one you can see up close by walking along it), rest is commercial shipping and nasty factories.

My husband, toddler and I really enjoyed the dinner cruise. The price was reasonable for two buffet dinners and entertainment (a deejay). Be prepared to pay extra for drinks, even non-alcolholic. It is two hours long away from port. Just long enough in my opinion.

The riverboat itself was awesome. The guide and Captain was awesome. The atmosphere yuk. Not very scenic to see clunky old shipyards and junk on the side of the banks. I was expecting something more scenic. I enjoyed just being outside with a small coat on instead of my heavy winter coat. They did sell us a picture which was a nice feature.

With a newly purchased & completely remodeled boat, this company seems to really be making a turn around. I come to Savannah every year and took the dinner cruise last June. After taking my son on a sightseeing cruise on their newest addition, I was very impressed! I could still smell the freshness of the paint and carpet. I will definitely return and bring my family for another dinner cruise.

Not my favorite thing. Once you leave the historic river street all you see is industrial areas. Ho Humm..Yawn. Hey! the free ferry was alot more fun!!! Did I mention it's FREE! Yes! More money for pralines!

We attended the Murder Mystery River Cruise and were told it was a Dinner Murder Mystery Cruise. The acting was not good to say the least. They did a lot of hollering and running around over the boat. It was very crowded and chaotic. We hadn't eaten and all they had was popcorn and pretzels. I expected it to be a classy dinner experience. Only saving grace, was the Margarita!
