The life blood of Savannah, colonial Georgia’s first city, has always been the Savannah River. From trading ships to warships to passenger cruise ships, the river has brought security and prosperity to this historic city. Visitors today can learn about that history through a variety of river cruises.
Award-winning Savannah Riverboat Cruises offers a variety of not-to-be-missed cruises along the Savannah River aboard their paddle-wheeled 1000-passenger “Georgia Queen,” one of the grandest entertainment ships in the country. Dine like the elite in their spacious ballrooms with crystal chandeliers, wooden dance floors and top notch bars on each level.
Daily Cruises
Daily cruises consist of their 1-1/2 hour Narrated Harbor Sightseeing Cruise, offered year-round and includes a live narration of intriguing facts and tales from the Captain. See Old Fort Jackson from the water’s view and you might get the chance to witness a live cannon firing as you pass by. Add a Southern-style lunch buffet to make it even more divine. The sailing schedule is seasonal so make sure you call ahead.
Seasonal Cruises
Seasonal buffet cruises include the new Narrated Harbor Luncheon Cruise and the Sunday Brunch Cruise (both sailing from March to October) as well as the popular year around Dinner Entertainment Cruise and a Monday Gospel Dinner Cruise (sailing April to October). Advance ticket purchases are encouraged for all meal cruises.
Also offered seasonally is the Sunset Cruise. The Skyline Bar and Grill is available during this cruise, as well as during the Sightseeing Cruises and serves made-to-order appetizers & entrees and is a full service bar. The newly opened top-deck North Star Bar has delicious daiquiris for the adults and ice cream for the kids. Holiday cruises are available and are a great way to relax with family and friends.
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge
Enjoy another kind of guided river cruise with Outside Savannah, a division of Outside Hilton Head, to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, a gem of the Southeast Coast. This excursion will provide views of the Savannah Riverfront, and an in-depth tour of the Georgia Ports Authority. The tour, led by a naturalist captain, will venture upriver from Savannah and navigate through portions of the 29,000-acre refuge’s tidal creeks and marshes.
Combination riverboat cruises, trolley tours, and other attractions are also available. This is a perfect way to see all of historic Savannah for one great price.
