If you are planning a trip to Memphis or the Mid-South, your trip would not be complete without a ride on the mighty Mississippi River! Enjoy 90 minutes of cruising as you take a graceful step back in time on a Memphis Riverboat Sightseeing Cruise. A riverboat cruise is the only way to experience the river era of Native Americans, explorers, river boatmen like Mark Twain and Mike Fink, the local Civil War river battles and the heritage of the Mississippi River bluffs and delta.
You will learn about the bluffs at Memphis and see them from the only vantage point that underscores their significance historically and currently. Learn the history behind the four bridges across the river at Memphis, some of the oldest on the lower Mississippi. Hear the heroic story of Tom Lee after whom the site of the famous "Memphis in May" festival is named. See the Mud Island River Park, Memphis' pyramid and more.
Cruise the river alongside towboats with mammoth barge tows as they ply their commerce in the little understood inland shipping trade. Visualize the fleets of highway trailers which barges replace. Consider the contrast between the magnificence of a barge tow when compared to the clatter of the many railway cars the average tow replaces. The 90-minute cruise covers approximately 4.5 miles (7.2 kilometers) and travels both north and south of Memphis on the Mississippi River.
The Memphis Music Attraction Discount Pass is your passport to the music history of Memphis. You will get entry into four of the most popular attractions in Memphis including Graceland, the famous home of Elvis Presley.
