Cruise the River on a Holiday-Themed Pontoon Party Cruise
Join us this holiday season for festive-themed public cruises on the Pontoon Saloon, running from November 16th through December 14th! Our public cruises are a Nashville favorite, offering guided party experiences led by our standout crew with views you’ll only get on board. This season, the vessel will be enclosed for your comfort, decked out in holiday decor, and we’ll add some favorite holiday tunes to get everyone in the spirit. Each BYOB cruise hosts around 42 people, where you’ll be greeted by our licensed USCG Captain & Deck Hand, who will ice down your drinks and get you settled in for an unforgettable experience. With our lively deck atmosphere, engaging games, and hit tunes that keep the dance floor moving, there’s no holiday party like one on the Pontoon Saloon!
