There’s really nothing more “Tennessee” than dinner and a show, don’t you think? With so much music history floating around in our past, it just makes sense. Serve the heart and serve the body by way of some country music and something savory and good. Memphis Riverboats does just that, with a solid calendar of events that stretch throughout the year. No matter what you love or who you invite, there’s bound to be something fun for the whole family atop the Mississippi River.
Memphis Riverboats is a tried-and-true local Tennessee business and has been giving both dinner cruises and sightseeing tours atop the Mississippi since 1955.
There are all sorts of events available throughout the year, like the Mother's Day Brunch and Elvis Dinner, even a dreamy Valentine's Day Dinner Cruise.
You can indulge in a sightseeing cruise on the regular, which is a 90-minute experience that will give you the opportunity to see Memphis from the waterfront. The entire tour is paired with the historic commentary.
Of course, it's the dinner cruise that really takes the cake. You can indulge in a meal of Memphis-style pulled pork, spaghetti with meat sauce, sides, and dessert with complimentary beverages on the side.
The buffet-style meal is sure to keep you sated, and the Live House Blues and Jazz Band puts on a grand old show. Plus, there are all sorts of stunning views from the deck of the ship. You'll learn all about the historic heart of Memphis while indulging in a meal fit for a king.
The dinner and music cruise is truly a top-notch experience, and it lasts a bit longer than the sightseeing cruise. You'll want to make sure to gauge the needs and interests of your group to decide between experiences. There's an endless number of opportunities, both daily and throughout the year.
What to do you think? Will you be joining on the riverfront adventure? Tickets should be booked online ahead of time, and prices will vary depending on the experience you choose and the age of your guests. Plan for roughly $30 for children from 3-12, $42 for youth ages 13-17, and $45 for all adults.
