A Marvelous Riverboat Cruise
We had a wonderful and joyful experience. The staff was courteous and attentive. There was an excellent selection of menu items. The entertainment by the gospel choir was emotionally powerful. Their rendition of several gospel songs was quite moving. Audience participation was part of the performance, which brought excitement to the crowd. Would recommend for persons looking for different on a riverboat cruise.

Great music, authentic southern food, and friendly staff
Great food and service combined with bona fide Gospel music for a memorable experience. It's a very clean venue with friendly staff. I gave four stars instead of five because even though the tickets say 7-9pm with boarding as early as 6pm, you really have to arrive early because the buffet is cleared at 7:30pm.

Excellent gospel dinner
The food was great. The gospel singers were awesome. When I mentioned how cold it was they immediately warmed up our side.

Amazing Gospel Music

Not overly sure
The food wasn’t that good but the gospel music was excellent. The atmosphere and vibe was great but again the food failed.

Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.
How much does Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.
Is Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 135 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise?
+
Around 47 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Savannah?
+
Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Savannah?
+
March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Savannah?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise?
+
Included: Dinner and Gospel. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise?
+
Please go to the Ticket Office before boarding. The Riverboat Ticket Office is located directly in front of the riverboat dock at 9 East River Street, directly behind City Hall and next door to the Hyatt Regency. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise?
+

Is Savannah Riverboat Gospel Music Dinner Cruise wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
