About Memphis Riverboats

Are you ready to see Memphis from a whole NEW perspective!?

Memphis Riverboats are the ultimate way to see the skyline, as they offer authentic American Riverboat Cruises along on the Mighty Mississippi, from sightseeing cruises, to dinner cruises and more!

You're in Tennessee so there really is nothing like taking an iconic Paddlewheeler a few miles up and down the greatest river in the U.S.A. Yes, we've already said it but we'll say it again - the “Mighty” Mississippi!

Not only is a Paddlewheeler an incredible experience, but it's also a great way to see and learn all about the Mississippi River's history while visiting Memphis - and learning about Memphis too!

With Memphis Riverboats, the most popular cruise is the 90-minute sightseeing cruise, which are offered daily. These cruises will take you a step back into Tennessee history. Along the sightseeing cruise, you'll also hear historical commentary which will offer a comprehensive and interesting narrative of past and present Mississippi River life.

Snacks and drinks are available onboard for those cruises that aren't food specific - and speaking of which - this seems like the perfect time to tell you that Memphis Riverboats also offer seasonal Dinner & Music Cruises!

During these cruises you'll get to sit back and enjoy the sounds of their in-house band playing a little of everything from R&B to Jazz, and of course the Blues.

You can also find special cruises offered seasonally, so keep an eye out for these coming up!

All aboard, it's time to enjoy the iconic and memorable experiences that Memphis Riverboats have to offer! Aye aye Captain!
