Styled in the grand tradition of the paddlewheel riverboats that cruised

after the first steamboat to operate on the Cumberland River in 1817.
Today, it’s just as active as its predecessor.

the clear blue Southern sky, we would be pleased to have you join us.

event on the boat just for your group. The Music City Queen is also
available for private charter. For more information about the Showboat,
