Sample the many styles of music that made Tennessee famous. Your glorious daytime cruise on the General Jackson Showboat will celebrate and salute the music of world famous TENNESSEE LEGENDS. Listen to some of Nashville’s finest musicians and singers sharing the stories and songs from the pride of Tennessee.

 

From East Tennessee to Nashville's Music City to the soulful sounds from Memphis, many of the top musical entertainers of all time call Tennessee home. Hear Smoky Mountain stories from country music's greatest living legend, Dolly Parton to the sounds of Nashville’s legendary Grand Ole Opry stars to the classics from one of the greatest artists of all time, Memphis and Graceland's own Elvis Presley. With guitars, fiddles and voices ringing, TENNESSEE LEGENDS is a can't-miss musical treat.

 

The Boat

Styled in the grand tradition of the paddlewheel riverboats that cruised the great Southern waterways in the 1800s, the General Jackson was named after the first steamboat to operate on the Cumberland River in 1817. Today, it's just as active as its predecessor.

The General Jackson Cruise is one of the most popular activities in Nashville. Many visitors both attend the Grand Ole Opry and take the General Jackson Midday or Dinner Cruise during their visit to Music City USA.
