This was a great cruise on the river. The narrator was very knowledgeable about the area, and we loved the history. The food was fantastic! Best fried chicken I’ve ever ate. Better than any restaurant I’ve been to. The side dishes were great too! Southern collards, mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese were all fantastic!

The food was phenomenal and plenty of it. The staff was prompt, courteous and very kind. Very family friendly. The cruise was great! Time and money well spent.

    Savannah Queen not worth it!

    Judy_C, Oct 2026
    The luncheon was excellent but the cruise was boring. If you wanted to sit next to a windows you had to pay $25 more per person! All you saw was trees and shipyard. Couldn't hear the narrative cause they turned the air conditioning up so high everyone was freezing. Definitely not worth what we paid to only have a good lunch! Plus finding parking to get on the boat was another story.

    The food was disgusting

    Antonian_A, Oct 2026
    The food was disgusting. The macaroni wasn’t cooked, the chicken seemed safe enough, just cold in the middle. Mashed potatoes were great though. All of the alcohol was watered down. Do not waste your money on the luncheon portion. They do have concessions on another deck. I wish I had known. The narrator caption was pretty informative.

    Fun activity. Enjoyed the food as well. You could stay indoors on the boat or go out on one of the decks.

    Awesome!

    Kate_A, Jul 2026
    Do not waste time. Buffet was underwhelming, couldn’t hear narration inside. I would just do the sightseeing part and save your money on the lunch.

    Great lunch cruise!

    Miranda_M, Jul 2026
    Food, service and narration was excellent. Great choice for food, it was delicious! Loved it! It was 100 degrees which was hot ! Better to go in the Fall but was still a nice get away. Will be coming back!

    Very efficient and timely. Staff was great. Buffet was delicious. Our waiter was funny and polite. Only issue was with the tour speaker recording and sound.

    Lunch on the River

    K_D, Jul 2026
    The food was not done. We paid all that money for uncooked and cold food. The staff however was wonderful!

    Definitely worth it!

    Angela_B, Jun 2026
    The buffet lunch was delicious (one of our favorites during this trip) and our server was friendly and attentive. The narration was informative, engaging and witty. The only negative was that the women's restroom was very warm, but the overall experience was very enjoyable. I would recommend the Savannah Riverboat Narrated Harbor Luncheon Cruise during your visit!

    ZaKiya_B, Jun 2026
    I love that you can go to different levels on the boat and you’re not confined to one area! The narration was great and included a lot of fun facts with a splash of comedy. The food was delicious!

    Brenda_W, Jun 2026
    The experience was beyond amazing. It was a very informative boat cruise. Richard and Co pilot did an excellent job. Amaya my server was super friendly. The only thing I did not like was the food. Other than that I would and I will be back.

    The food was great! Dessert not so much. Banana pudding was runny and the peach cobbler was super sweet and looked like apples. My only negative is having to find a parking spot and pay for it. Staff was very nice and pleasant.

    The lunch was very good. The only thing was wrong with it, southern food without cornbread.. I enjoyed the history of Savannah on the river. It was a peaceful ride.

    Deborah_O, May 2026
    Very good tour. The food was very good and service was great. The tour narrator was very informative. This tour was worth the money.

    Typical But Enjoyable

    Peggy_W, May 2026
    Not much has changed over the years in a paddleboat luncheon. It's a nice venue to see the sites from the river view. There'san opportunity for a professional phot as you board. The narrator was informative and fun. The speaker inside needed to be turned up and add speakers at the front of the boat. The paddle wheel didn't turn, FYI. The food could use some improvement (runny mashed potatoes, cold greens, greasy mac & cheese, sickening-sweet cobbler. The stars were the shrimp & grits and fried chicken.) Our server Deasia, was very good. Alcohol was available for purchase. I didn't see an elevator. AC inside was great. Restrooms were clean. It was a fun experience.
