It was fantastic! Great riverboat, friendly staff and really good food for a little Southern cuisine experience. The lunch far exceeded our expections and there were a lot of choices... from fried chicken to shrimp and grits, all the fixins and even two choices for dessert with drinks and coffee included. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone on a getaway to Savannah ; ) Thanks much.

    Really fun and just the right amount of time. We loved the food, it was really tasty and well executed - not your average buffet. Loved being able go up to the top deck for killer views. We would absolutely do it again.

    Afternoon review

    PRINCESS_W, May 2026
    The cruise lunch was Wonderful! The Savannah Sunset beverage was delicious! The only issue was that it was hard to hear narrator due to his microphone Volume was really low!

    A good couple of hours

    Pamela_H, May 2026
    It was lovely to be out on the water and the tour guide Richard was excellent. The food was adequate, don’t expect a culinary experience, staff were friendly and welcoming and the boat seems in god condition. Overall a good experience

    Very informative. And...

    Linda_S, May 2026
    Very informative. And who knew that Cheese Grits, and also Mashed Potatoes, could be so good!!! But, BEWARE if you do not like or cannot tolerate Spicy Food, then just book the cruise with no lunch included and eat somewhere else either before or after your cruise!!! The Fried Chicken and the Green Beans and something else that I forgot, were Extremely Spicy - I could not eat them!!! But Cheese Grits and Shrimp were Fabulous!!! So Cruise and Dine if you love Shrimp and Grits - can't go wrong!

    Is the best app for buy your ticket on Savannah cruise thank you

    Jean_E, May 2026

    Matt_L, Mar 2026
    We had a nice time on the boat, all of the staff were the best. The food was ok, not bad or not great…the fried chicken and desserts were excellent. Our only complaint is that the window we sat by was extremely hazed, which made it difficult to see through. There are a few windows that desperately need to be replaced. We still recommend the ride to all who visit Savannah.

    Great stay!!!

    Madeline_P, Mar 2026
    The house was exactly what was expected, very clean and spacious. Great location and the host was amazing, answered text messages quickly and was very helpful.

    Great experience!

    Nicole_C, Mar 2026
    My partner and I had a wonderful time on this cruise! We did the lunch option and it was so worth the money! Great chicken and shrimp & grits. The cocktails were great as well!

    Loved It!

    Cynthia_F, Mar 2026
    The food, the service and the tour were all fantastic! Well worth the money! I totally recommend this trip.

    A great way to experience Savannah

    Neville_R, Mar 2026
    This was a great value for the money. The tour was well narrated. The food buffet was a quality spread and tasty. Our waitress Lucy was responsive and very polite. I highly recommend this excursion.

    Terrible food. Don't book...

    S_C, Mar 2026
    Terrible food. Don't book a luncheon or dinner. Just go sightseeing, you cannot get a window table booking through a Viator. To get a window table they will try to charge $25 per person on board.

    The experience is great!...

    Jeanna_J, Feb 2026
    The experience is great! The food was very tasty, buffet style. The staff were friendly. There is a bar. Couldn’t really hear the narrator because we sat in the back. Photos are taken before you board. Overall great experience!

    Excellent Buffet

    Marla_B, Jan 2026
    The Georgia Queen was a very nice boat. Bathrooms were clean, the dining room was clean. The buffet was absolutely delicious. Fried chicken, Mac&cheese, collard greens, sweet potato casserole was amazing. The site-seeing on the river cruise were not all that great, not much to see, but overall it was a nice relaxing experience.

    A little something for everyone

    Katherine_C, Jan 2026
    Lunch was excellent! My favorite was the sweet potato soufflé and collards. Part of the tour goes past an old fort. As we went by the cannon was fired. My twelve year old thought that was one of the best parts of the tour - other than the peach cobbler, of course. The cruise has a little something for everyone. Great family experience!

    A must do in Savannah

    CarrieAnn_G, Dec 2025
    A very Savannah experience on the Georgia Queen Riverboat Cruise. Ask for a table near the window at least in the main dining room. There were 10 of us and originally assigned to like a corner room area w/o a window. They were nice to move us to the center of the DR near the food. Great service, many drink choices! Hard to hear the narration in the DR but clear when you’re on the deck. Fun & Enjoyable. Highly recommended.

    Good times

    Kevin_B, Dec 2025
    Very interesting and good food, everyone was super nice , lovely view and very comfortable , it was a lot of fun, just remember to leave yourself plenty of time to find parking

    Recommend Lunch with Cruise

    Julie_D, Dec 2025
    Was able to find parking on River Street, which I would recommend locating first. The food was really good, which I would recommend a cruise with a meal instead of only a cruise.

    Fun Saturday

    Deborah_G, Nov 2025
    It’s a great idea to make a memorable experience with my grandkids. Good food and listening to the history of Savannah and surrounding areas.

    Great Food and Atmosphere

    caren_h, Nov 2025
    The river boat was spacious and comfortable. Food was excellent. We learned a lot about Savannah history.

    Beautiful boat with amazing crew!

    Kenneth_D, Nov 2025
    Get on the boat earlier than the departure time to give yourself time to eat before the cruise starts. The captain/narrator was amazing! He was very passionate about his city and full of amazing and entertaining stories and information. The food selection was good and plentiful and the service was great! Definitely worth the experience!

    Fantastic cruise

    Garth_G, Oct 2025
    It was an amazing trip. Everyone is so kind. You get to experience the riverfront of savannah like you never have before. The food was incredible, not just some of it. All of it was so good. The narrator was very good. Lot's of great information that kept things very interesting and fun. I would highly recommend this cruise for everyone all ages.

    A wonderful birthday lunch cruise on Savannah Riverboat

    Schyla_J, Oct 2025
    We really love the lunch cruise. The food was delicious. Such a variety of food. The customer service and food were excellent. Depending what time of the year you are going, bring a hooded jacket or rain poncho.

    The culinary experience...

    Clarice_M, Oct 2025
    The culinary experience was exceptional and highly satisfying. The cannonball demonstration at the fort was particularly impressive. I will be doing it again.
