Matthew M.

This was fun. Nice views at night. Went for the Hot Country Nights show, no dinner . House band playing upstairs was talented. Show downstairs was pretty good, but not my favorite.

Fun cruise up and down the Tennessee River . Gospel music show on Sundays. I heard the food is pretty good. They have unlimited mimosa & bloody Mary packet :-)

Bruce Humphrey

The cruise was fun and an interesting and pleasurable way to spend an evening. The food was good, although this was a business thing with a buffet . The stage show was lacking though.

Steve Shepherd

Beautiful ride on the Cumberland River with great views of Downtown Nashville. Awesome music show .

Wittyboi

The service and bar is good! Food is average but the chocolate cheese cake was amazing!

Kim Keelor

A Nashville icon with highly professional production/live entertainment and fun cruise on Cumberland . Best time to go is at night and head out on deck to watch Nashville skyline and neon in cool breez

Kristin Pennington

Gorgeous view of downtown if you do a night cruise ! The food and show were nice also.

Drew McLellan

Do the $6 tour . You get on early and get your picture taken in the actual Captain's hat!

Keep your camera handy for the views of the Nashville skyline - especially stunning at night!

Cyn Stoltz

Went on a Sunday, food was sub-par; flies were flying all around the buffet tables.Entertainment not particularly interesting. The trip up and down the river was pleasant.Not worth what we paid though

Angela Skees

Seems like a really touristy thing but the views from the river were nice.

Kendall Jenkins

Nice party. Got my money’s worth.

Steve Mack

Great dinner and show.

God forbid the system goes down and you lose the table you paid for...

A total tourist trap! I suppose if I were white trash, really old, or a country bumpkin I could have enjoyed it!
