Once upon a time (and not all that long ago) more than just one riverboat cruised the majestic Cumberland River. General Jackson's smaller fleet-mate, the Music City Queen, retired from its daily schedule a few years ago and now sits docked near the Opryland Hotel. Still river-worthy, the Queen runs strictly on a charter basis and is available for lunch, dinner, and reception charters. Prices vary depending on length of cruise, number of people, and whether you choose a buffet or sit down meal.

Cruises leave (and return) from Riverfront Park in downtown Nashville. Call for reservations, availability and specific prices.
