Trip was good, food was good but I was double charged for my friend and I. Told Sandy who checked us in and she said she would take care of it but so far I still have not received my that deletion of the second charge!!!!

It was outstanding, the food, the service, sunset (crazy beautiful) and the live entertainment to end the evening was just great

The dining area is tight and very hot but the food is good. The experience of traveling around Emerald Bay was breath taking. We truly enjoyed the experience.

Fun boat ride across Lake Tahoe. Dinner was pretty decent, the ribeye steak had a lot of gristle. But our server was really nice and attentive. Would do this again though

Bait and Switch!! Buyer Be Aware for booking this right now!The company completely changed the Vessel and the food last minute and still wanted to charge $160 for pulled pork and chicken Buffet instead if Steak Dinner. I received an email a few hours beforehand that they were changing the vessel and I was okay with that. Then I happened to call right before leaving our hotel because I received someone else's tickets. It was then that I was informed of a completely different menu. I asked why they didn't mention it beforehand and she said it was an oversight. And that she would bring it up to management and that it was going to be that way for a few weeks. That never happened because they are still advertising and selling this cruise. I cancelled and we took a champagne cruise the next day and met people who went thru the same thing but they showed up and that's when they found out. They wanted a refund for the expensive parking because we're never notified but the company said No to reimbursing them. It wasted their whole evening. Viator should take this down until its a viable excursion.

It’s a nice leisure activity. May be boring for small children with not much for them to do. But as older adults, very enjoyable. Food was pretty good but we were there more for the cruise than the food! Beautiful scenery and great narration through emerald bay. Drinks are pricey at $17 for a small plastic glass. Overall we really enjoyed the outing.

Plan your parking/shuttle well.
We chose to park at the Harrah Casino and the cruise shuttle took us to the dock. Everything went very smoothly.
Bring an extra layer as it gets quite chilly on the water: especially after the sun begins to set.
They split our cruise into 2 groups. One group started with the meal while the other enjoyed the deck with live music and optional drinks if you chose to pay.
Our dinner began at 7:30. It was delicious and the service was excellent. I believe it's recommended to tip the waiter/waitress. They worked very hard and made it a very enjoyable experience.
Overall, recommend if you are looking for a fun evening on Lake Tahoe.

Food was very good. Crew was excellent. Views were wonderful. Duo was entertaining.
Boat was amazingly stable, even in some choppy water.

The wine tour was limited to 4 choices but the food was great and the scenery was amazing. The crew was very nice and the boat was clean

Things started rough. Very slow boarding process as they tried to stop everyone trying to board making it seem mandatory to have a picture taken they could try to sell you later. When we finally boarded we were sat at our table and watched all
The tables around us get drink orders in while we were literally ignored. We had to ask the head server for drinks when they finally started to dish out salads. We paid over $700 for (4) people and the dinner was awful quality. The after dinner portion being on the upper deck and simply cruising was spectacular and almost made up for the terrible dinner and service. Finally, big shout out to Joe the bartender. He really turned things around for us with his service post dinner.

Expect to pay $12.00 parking. Credit card only.
Friendly and helpful staff, great seating, good meal and wonderful cruise.
I highly recommend it.

nice, relaxing, casual attire.
There are 2 shifts for dinner.
I was charged extra for "premium seating", but there is no such a thing.
Jeffery_K, Aug 2026
We loved the boat, staff, atmosphere, and serenity. It was so beautiful and peaceful! The staff were great. The meal was ‘so-so’.

Parking expense (unless you take shuttle), well organized. Wait staff very efficent. Tables are a little crowded but adiquite. Dinner experience was great. Original steak was over cooked but was remedied within minutes.
Happy sailing

We purchased the premium window seat and were denied that seat because they oversold it. The air conditioning broke down which left us in the middle of a hot room packed with people. The service was poor also. We watched everyone next to us get served their second drinks and my husband was still waiting on his first. We asked for more rolls and were told they were out of them and the table next to us got three rounds of rolls. Luckily Tahoe is so beautiful that the view made up for the lack of service.

Many accommodations in the area do not have air conditioning. Had to request a portable room unit!!!

We loved everything about this scenic cruise.! The staff were friendly and welcoming! The views to the live music and dinner were great! We will recommend this cruise to friends and family! Thank you!

We booked the premium experience but Viator only paid the vendor for the standard trip. I was charged the Premium price on my card. and when we arrived we were not seated at the appropriate seating area. I was shown what Viator paid for. Once we were taken care of by the vendor the trip was well worth the experience and everyone loved it. Food is well worth the price and scenery is fantastic. Wouldnt book again with Viator though

The cruise and staff were wonderful. The food not so much. The so-called band was horrific. If I had earplugs, I would have used them. My entire family concurs, as did several of the other people on board.
My steak was so tough I couldn’t cut it. The staff apologized and replaced it with chicken. The salad smelled so strongly of vinegar I refused it. The cheesecake was very good.
This was our second cruise. Two years ago, it was a better experience.
Freddy_J, Aug 2026
The food was delicious but it was so noisy in the dining room, we couldn’t hear each other. I was disappointed that we didn’t actually see the sun set
Marlene_N, Aug 2026
Viator oversold premium seats and our names were not on the ships list as having purchased premium seats. We were made to wait and be seated last to give them time to accommodate our paid seating. Very disappointed in viator.
Stephen_W, Aug 2026
It was a great experience. The food was delicious. Watching the sunset on the cruise was amazing. I would recommend it.
Lois_B, Jul 2026
I was happy to have had complementary transportation from my hotel to the departure point. We were welcome upon the boat and sat with another couple, near the window. It was a beautiful cruise and the captain gave good information in regards to Lake Tahoe. The food was very good. The salmon was excellent, and the steak was good as well.

Be prepared for a very relaxing no stress dinner cruise. Great food picture taking and dancing
Window seat during dinner worth the extra $$
Kelly_W, Jul 2026
Great food, engaging staff. Captain welcomed us right we we went aboard. This was our 2nd time. Loved it. Can't wait to come back.
Kirk_C, Jul 2026

The boat ride across the lake was super. The meal was average. Our window seats was great. Babies were crying which was very disturbing.
