Booked this tour on the first day we were in Savannah for the long weekend with my parents, husband , in laws, and brother. It was a great taste of what Savannah has to offer, a way to get familiar with the area, and amazing views. The bus driver was very funny and interactive. What I didn’t know was that their service will pick you up and drop you off at your leisure for the rest of the day and the next day after your tour. Better than an Uber! Loved it !

Great overview trip of the city. We appreciated the ability to call for a ride back to the area we were staying in after exploring the city. The cruise was very relaxing and everyone was nice.

Highly recommend this trip my wife and I had an awesome time our tour guide for the land portion Chris is very knowledgeable and fun and upbeat, had us all laughing. The river portion was just as amazing

Our Land & See tour with Gray Line was a blast! Great way to get acclimated with Savannah and setup the rest of our trip with a base of knowledge. Dan, our tour guide, was friendly, informative and worked hard for his guests. Strongly recommend!

It was an amazing trip,the trolley took us to so many interesting sites and historical information. The riverboat ride was hot but the breeze helped and they supplied us with water. Everyone was friendly and professional. Narrators kept it fun. Also, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to use the trolley to get from our Hotel to RiverStreet and back. Everyone was so pleasant

The Georgia Queen and Savannah Riverboat Cruises

Savannah riverboat cruises’: the georgia queen..

It is a 1,000-passenger riverboat that traveled 2,800 miles down the Mississippi River, down and around the shorelines of Florida to call Savannah her home.

The Georgia Queen is a great way to see the city and is one of the most unique social gathering destinations in Savannah, but its impact on local tourism and economic development will be substantial with the added ability to attract large conferences and conventions.”

Built in 1995 as a luxury floating casino for 14 million dollars, the majestic 1800s paddlewheel-style riverboat spent several years traveling the Mississippi River. When gambling legislation changed, allowing land-based casinos to open, the riverboat underwent a four-million-dollar makeover. Today, this spectacular paddlewheel-style riverboat acts as Savannah Riverboat Cruises’ Savannah River Queen’s grand sister ship.

The Georgia Queen measures an impressive 230 feet long, 64 feet wide and towering at 68 feet tall.

She is among the top elite in the country with a capacity of 1,000 passengers, plus a 200-person crew, making her the size of a small cruise ship at 38,000 square feet. The ship’s entertainment spaces include three grand ballrooms with over 15,000 square feet of dining space. It offers more than 5,000 square feet of open-air top deck space with patio seating. This affords more than enough room to accommodate a romantic riverboat wedding on the Savannah River.

The Georgia Queen also boasts a multi-deck, fully equipped gourmet kitchen. It is also equipped with a large service elevator, making traveling between galleys discrete and easy. This onboard kitchen will change the entire dining experience for guests. This will allow for more plated dinner opportunities and flexibility in menu items.

“Experiencing Savannah from our beautiful riverfront is such a unique experience,” Visit Savannah President Joseph Marinelli said.

“Savannah Riverboat’s guests are treated to refreshing breezes, fun entertainment, and some of the best southern cuisine Savannah offers. They can view Georgia’s oldest city as her founders did many years ago when they arrived by river in 1733. Jonathan and his team have been providing unforgettable narrated tours of Savannah’s harbor for 25 years. The Georgia Queen is a game-changer for their business. It will be another valuable asset to the thriving tourism and hospitality offerings of Savannah.”
