Overview
Want to see Savannah from a different view? Take a cruise on the Savannah River Queen, a replica 19th century stern-wheel riverboat. Daily one-hour sightseeing cruises are offered from River Street. Lunch, Sunday brunch, and dinner cruises are offered nightly. Some evening cruises have special themes, such as a gospel cruise with live music and a murder mystery cruise. It is also available for group events. No reservations are needed for the sightseeing cruise.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. I was surprised to see it rated slightly above average until I read the reviews. Some of the reviewers gave 3 stars and then followed with a poor review, so that explains that. The ship itself was nice. We met a very nice couple. That is the only positive of the trip. The 1 hour cruise left 10 minutes late, but arrived back on schedule. I had difficulty understanding the tour guide due to poor speakers and a heavy southern accent. I agree 100% with the reviewer who said, "An hour of my life I'll never get back." Unfortunately, we only had 1 afternoon in Savannah and we wasted most of it waiting for this tour and on the boat. I would definitely NOT recommend this tour!
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. There isn't a whole lot to see as far as points of interest. However, the boat is huge and there is plenty of room to roam so people can have privacy and enjoy the view. We saw a great sunset. Our toddler was able to run around the second deck without bothering anyone else. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The food was good and plentiful. I would recommend the dinner cruise.
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.
When i visited the place i had some much .I never been on a cruise until that day and i had some fun when i visited i was with a program but i still enjoy myaself but this time when i come its going to be my family .but to stay on point i love everything about the cruise i love the food the people they made us all feel very welcome and calm cause all that water cause i no i was scared and alot more of people but we really did enjoy our selve and hope to see you guys soon.
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!
Great tour and great menu each time. I love Savannah, River Street and the Riverboat Cruise. WOOHOO!!!!!!! The best time to visit is early fall. The cooler weather makes the cruise an excellent place to be as the cool air provides a natural air conditioning. Food was great but I would suggest more fish items either broiled or fried. Yummmmy!
I have travelled all around the world and this by far is the WORST river cruise I have been on. If you want to see industries, scrapyards, breathe in smoke and be bored to tears then this is the thing for you. Otherwise save your money and do something else!!
