General Jackson Showboat

Your cruise lets you experience Nashville as it can best be seen from the beautiful Cumberland River. While "rollin' down the river, " you'll enjoy stunning views, a delicious meal freshly prepared by our chefs and toe-tapping entertainment in our two-story Victorian Theater. One of the largest showboats ever built, the grand General Jackson is an elegant triumph of American ingenuity. With its elegant lacy filigree and stately design, the boat is reminiscent of the opulence of the American Victorian era.

Bring your group to together for an unforgettable Nashville experience aboard the General Jackson Showboat-complete with delicious dining options, scenic cruises on the beautiful Cumberland River and world-class entertainment. For smaller groups, Heritage Hall can accommodate up to 125 guests (indoor/outdoor) for a reception or 70 for a formal, seated meal.

Weather Related Instances; We make every effort to cruise during weather-related days even if it requires a delay in departure time. Winds sustained at 20 mph or above or gusting in the 30 mph range or above or when the river conditions deteriorate i.e. high water, this can lower that thresh hold to cruise, but only slightly.
