Both riverboats offer a glass-enclosed climate-controlled dining and observation deck with panoramic views, open-air patio, and has numerous bench seats that line the upper decks for incredible city views and plenty of sunshine..

Traveler reviews
Not for children
Cruise was great and the staff was very nice. The DJ played very inappropriate music for anyone under 18. It led to vulgar and inappropriate dancing. It was more of a club atmosphere than a sunset River cruise.
Anniversary
Get in line early so you enjoy the dining experience and the bar experience, fellowship and meeting new people is the best part.
Sunset Riverboat cruise
The music was great. Nice little river boat ride, very relaxing.
Relax and enjoy sunset
Nice, relaxing time on the water. Would have preferred that the boat go a little further down the river, as we didn’t see much outside industrial area, but everyone — crew and fellow guests — was very pleasant, so made it totally worthwhile. I liked that there are benches outside for sitting and watching the sunset. People inside really seemed to enjoy the d.j., so nice that diners were coming up from downstairs even and dancing everywhere. Onboarding could have been better a# it took a long time to get everyone on, and people who stood in line a long time were then sent away to go. Ross the street to have tickets printed. If you’re going, be sure to stop at the street front sometime before you get in line (we got them middle of the afternoon).
Disappointed
My girlfriend and I have a very poor experience on the Georgia Queen while vacationing in Savannah, in the description it stated that there is a bar and grill available on board, the bar was okay for a cruise bar but the “Grill” was literally a concession stand with very limited options on food, it felt very cafeteria like, and was not a romantic experience that we hoped for. the views were pretty and the sunset was beautiful so that we for sure cannot complain about one bit, but the amenities offered were very poor quality. We got a frozen margarita and it made me so sick I threw up. Very disappointed. Not the experience we were expecting unfortunately.
