General Jackson Showboat Cruise Along Nashville's Cumberland River


Does your visit to Nashville need to include a realistic step back in time to when things moved a little slower than they do now? Step aboard the General Jackson Showboat Cruise for a relaxing trip down the Cumberland River. It's perfect as a romantic stop for a couple or bring the kids along so they can participate in the history of it all!

General Jackson Overview

  • At 300-feet long, the General Jackson is the largest paddlewheel boat in the world! It is also styled in teh grand tradition of its namesake, which was the first steamboat to operate on the Cumberland River in 1817. Today's General Jackson is no less active than its predecessor.

Your General Jackson Cruise

  • Depart from Opry Mills and the Gaylord Resort and travel to downtown Nashville via the beautiful Cumberland River. Along the way, enjoy the charming cruise atmosphere, complete with a masterfully decorated main ballroom and theatre hall, high-energy live entertainment, and a dining experience which has the feel of a Broadway production.
  • When the impressive General Jackson reaches the downtown area, you'll catch a glimpse of the Tennessee Titan's Coliseum, Riverfront Park, Second Avenue, the Wildhorse Saloon, Ryman Auditorium, and more. Here, the mammoth paddlewheeler will make an incredible turn-around in at the wide spot in the river.
  • If you choose lunch on the General Jackson, you'll be treated to an exquisite luncheon buffet and entertainment provided by strolling musicians. The evening cruise is more elaborate with a three-course, sit-down meal served ballroom-style, with a nine-piece swing band providing lovely dinner ambiance. After making the turnaround downtown, the stage is cleared and reset for an entertaining show.

Whether you choose the luncheon cruise or the dinner cruise aboard the General Jackson Showboat, you're sure to leave with some of your most memorable vacation experiences ever. Bring your significant other or take the kids along for an exciting yet relaxing ride on this famous showboat!

General Jackson Showboat Lunch & Dinner Cruises
When we first arrived on the boat the service was very slow. Once we moved inside for lunch and the show it was very nice. Great show!

Absolutely wonderful experience on the boat..... We got there early enough to enjoy the beautifuly scenery, We did the Southern Nights Cruise and it was just what we hoped for, casual and comfortable. The drinks were a little overpriced as well as the souveniers were, but I guess that is to be expected when on vacation. But this is something we would do again .....

WOW! We were lucky to see the Peking Acrobats who put on an amazing show. Food was okay. Service great. Didn't have much time to see the view if there was any!
