The Experience

The riverboat leaves River Street at 7:00pm and you spend two hours on the water while a buffet dinner comes to your table. The menu rotates but includes a beef carving station, Savannah-style shrimp and grits, baked chicken with artichoke cream sauce, fresh catch of the day, roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, salads and a choice of dessert. The boat holds between 600 and 1,000 passengers depending on which vessel you board, so expect a couple of hundred other people on deck.

The dining happens in a glass-enclosed climate-controlled ballroom with panoramic views, and there's an open-air patio and upper decks lined with bench seating if you want to step outside. Live entertainment and a dance floor are part of the cruise, so the evening is not a quiet sit-down meal—it's built around moving around the boat. The Talmadge Memorial Bridge passes overhead during the route down the Savannah River.

Arrive at the ticket office on River Street 60 minutes before the 7:00pm departure to swap your voucher for a boarding pass. Alcoholic drinks are not included, but a cash bar operates on board (minimum drinking age 21, ID required). The boat has no dress code, and smoking is allowed only on the outside decks. Restrooms on the Savannah River Queen are not wheelchair accessible, though the main deck and boarding ramps are.

Is this one for you?Choose the weekday dinner cruise if you want a more relaxed evening, or the Saturday night option if you prefer a livelier atmosphere—both follow the same 7:00pm departure and 2-hour route, so the difference is the crowd and energy level. If you're traveling with children or have mobility concerns, the boat requires no walking and accommodates strollers and wheelchairs on the main deck, though restrooms are not wheelchair accessible.
