Savannah Riverboat Cruises offers a variety of special holiday-themed riverboat cruises to delight kids from one to 92.
Enjoy the perfect way to enjoy the season, seeing Savannah all decked up with a water view. Cruises offer a spectacular buffets, Southern-inspired specialties, Hors D’oeuvres with drink specials and even a guest appearance by Santa!!!
Savannah Riverboat tours leave the dock right next to the exact location where General Oglethrope first landed on the river front and head upriver, into the Port of Savannah and then turn around and head back under the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge and past the historic river front. The tours continue downriver passing the world famous Waving Girl, Florence Martus, through the ship yards and just past the tip of Hutchinson Island and Old Fort Jackson. There, the boat circles back upriver to arrive gently back at the dock.
Choose from these fun and festive cruises or try more than one!
