Don’t miss the boat this December in Chattanooga, there is no better way to brighten your holiday spirit than to get on board the Southern Belle Riverboat for a special Christmas or News Years cruise.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a relaxing cruise with our slow cooked prime rib and live entertainment. One popular option is the “Tis the Season Luncheon,” where our craft instructor will show you how to make a special Christmas decoration to enjoy in your home. These great luncheons will be held December 4, 5 and 6. Boarding begins at 11:30 a.m. with departure at 12 p.m.

The kids will love our famous “Ho, Ho, Ho” cruises. This one hour cruise includes a magic show, lunch, holiday music and of course, the man in the big red suit. Also, kids need to watch out for the Grinch and keep an eye out for Rudolph. Please call for available dates and times.

It will be party time every night from Thanksgiving to New Years with our Christmas Carol Dinner Cruises that will be held from November 28-December 20. Don your dancing shoes and hit the dance floor with live entertainment from the Riverboat Ramblers on the main deck. There will also be a DJ on the second deck. The singing deckhands will add some fun and get everyone singing traditional Christmas songs. Our prime rib and shrimp Creole dinner will surely please the palate. Santa will be on board to start the dancing.

Ring in the New Year on the riverboat with the New Years’ Eve Cruise. Boarding will begin at 8 p.m. with light hors d’ oeuvres. Departure will be at 9 p.m. to cruise into 2004. A prime rib and shrimp Creole dinner will be served. At midnight the horn will be blowing with party favors for all and a split of champagne will be provided for each couple to toast the New Year.
