The Georgia Queen.

A sightseeing cruise will go up into Savannah’s bustling port and then down passed historic River Street all the way to Old Fort Jackson, Georgia's oldest standing brick fortification and a National Historic Landmark. Old Fort Jackson has daily cannon firings, and many times, you’ll see them while passing by on a Riverboat Cruise! 

You can also enjoy lunch, brunch or dinner aboard their cruises. Enjoy a live narration as their Captain fascinates you with intriguing tales of Savannah’s history and facts about her modern port while delighting yourself on a specially prepared lunch or brunch buffet. During the dinner cruise, guests are serenaded with live entertainment as they dine on the Southern cuisine on board the grand entertainment ship.
