Memphis Riverboats

I read mixed reviews before booking this cruise. I'm glad I didn't pass on it. I had a great night out with my girlfriends. The boat is nice & spacious 3 floors. You have your picture taken when you get onboard & you can purchase them for $15. The live band was great! It was a nice mixed crowd. The meal was surprisingly really good, however the piece of chicken was rather dry The pulled pork sandwich was 🔥. The meal was included in the tour & that included brownies for dessert. There is a bar for drinks that you have to pay for. I don't drink alcohol but my girls said they were nice & strong for the price. Just a heads up being outside on the top decks you will have to deal with the pesky gnats. But being out there has the best photo shoot areas so definitely go out there for that

This is a perfectly lovely River cruise experience. The staff were incredibly nice and efficient. The food is what you’d expect from buffet food, but they are very efficient moving folks through the food line. We did the night one and the lighted bridges we circled between were really pretty. But you are just circling around in the river for a couple of hours. Folks haven’t always loved the band in the reviews, but we thought they were great. We did sit up top, however because the dining room/enclosed area where they play does get really loud. There’s a shuttle that will take you from parking at the nearby visitor’s center to the drop off point by the boat. We went with my parents—my dad has some mobility issues and walks with a cane—and used the shuttle. The driver was so nice and made sure everyone got out of the van safely. It’s an extremely steep hill that takes you from street level to the dock/pier, so definitely consider the shuttle. (This is not a paid review for the van, I promise.)

We had an awesome time. Definitely recommend doing this when you are in Memphis. The day time trip is relaxing. The evening trip is a party trip. Enjoy!!! We did.

I visited on a Thursday and did the afternoon sightseeing tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and comical. He even played music during a brief intermission, which kept my attention and made for a pleasant sailing experience. There were indoor and outdoor seating options and food and souvenirs were also available for purchase which was nice. FYI’s - I visited in October 2025. If you’re planning on visiting anytime soon, be aware that there is currently construction going on making it a bit challenging to walk down to/climb up from the boat. Lastly, while the company was good at sharing information via email prior to the tour, an area I think they can do better in is being able to be reached by customers. I emailed, called and texted the company the day of my tour as I had questions about the best place to be dropped off via ride sharing service as a festival along the riverfront was blocking a main street. As an out of town visitor, it was particularly frustrating that I couldn’t get in contact with anyone and never got responded to. Fortunately, I was able to figure out my way to the riverboat but I could have easily missed my time slot.

I am not sure why anyone would rate this dinner & music cruise less than 5 stars. You get what you pay for, $50 for a HUGE dinner and dessert. Live music, friendly staff and beautiful site seeing. 10/10 experience. 2 hours long, probably could have charged more like $60-70 and we still would have gone after knowing how good it is.

Did the riverboat dinner cruise. Great atmosphere. Food was ok. Ordered the 4 birthday balloons. Not gender neutral and they don' t ask you who's birthday it is for. Band was great. Great views. Bring you a jacket its a little windy and chilli on the river! Do not wear heels!!!! It is a long walk in heels. We would do it again for the views alone.

A nice trip out on the Mississipi river. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. We had booked this as part of the Memphis tour so unsure if you'd need to book in advance directly. The boat was pretty full on the middle deck but there was a good atmosphere. There is a small kiosk selling food and drink but not they don't take cash, I only brought a coke for my son and it wasn't overly expensive considering they have a captive audience. Would recommend taking a trip if you haven't before

So much fun and reasonably priced. The 90 minute sight seeing cruise was both fun and relaxing. Kids had a great time and the guide was both knowledgeable and entertaining. This really is a great little family activity if you just want to get out and do something.
