Tennessee is well known for being landlocked, but that doesn’t mean we’re completely without water, folks. Nope. Tennessee is downright criss-crossed with lakes and rivers and streams, all feeding the lush green heart of the Volunteer State. Since we can’t offer any coastal cruises (bummer!), we’ve found a way to enjoy precisely what we have, with day trips down our rivers. Care to hop on the Mississippi in Memphis, friends?
Memphis Riverboats is located in the great city of Memphis - we know, SHOCK - and offers daily sightseeing cruises, dinner cruises, a venue for private river events, and even music cruises!
The daily 90-minute sightseeing cruise happens to be the most popular amongst locals and tourists, giving you a beautiful look at our river city while learning about the history of western Tennessee. Tickets are usually around $20 a person, but you'll want to check out the date of departure to double check.
