Set out on a two-hour dinner cruise along the Mississippi River featuring live entertainment and a meal. Advance reservations are recommended for this evening Memphis cruise. If you are marking a birthday, anniversary, or another special moment, celebration package add-ons can be selected during checkout.

The menu features Memphis-style pulled pork barbecue, marinated grilled chicken breast, baked beans, mac and cheese, a house salad with buns, and dessert, with complimentary tea and water.

The meal is served one time by staff behind the service area on disposable dinnerware due to COVID-19 restrictions, and offerings may change based on availability.
