Public River Boat Cruise in Nashville
River Boat Cruises in Downtown Nashville
Experience Nashville’s Best Public River Boat Cruise
Our public river boat cruise in Nashville is famous. It’s hard to beat the unique guided party experiences from our distinguished crew & views only available aboard the Pontoon Saloon. Our public riverboat cruise in Nashville is available at various times and will typically host about 40 people. Each group will be greeted by our licensed USCG Captain & Deck Hand, there to ensure safety, entertainment and bartending service. The bar-style atmosphere is amplified by your Deck Hand bringing hit tunes, entertainment, and engaging games that get a crowd together on the dance floor.
Thanks to our amazing crew, unique boat design, and amazing views, no other party bus or booze cruise knows how to get the party started like the Pontoon Saloon. Aside from the time of day, our riverboat cruises in Nashville are all similar—each offering bar services with a variety of domestic beer, local beer, seltzers, canned cocktails and wine available for purchase. Outside beverages are not permitted.

Mimosa Party Cruise
The USS Mimosa departs each morning before noon. This cruise is the best way to start your day in Nashville. Purchase a mimosa kit & cure your hangover as you sip on mimosas, enjoy the river breeze, and listen to our custom Pontoon Playlist. Two mimosas later, you’ll be dancing with all new friends and ready for Broadway! This is a bachelorette must-do!
Pontoon Party Cruise
Our afternoon Pontoon Party Cruise is the best activity you can do before hitting Broadway! There is no better place to be on a hot sunny day in Music City than aboard this party barge enjoying a cool breeze and making some great Nashville memories. Grab a friend and come experience it for yourself. Our Deck Hand gets the pontoon party started with a curated playlist, and our famous pontoon dance-off will surely get you moving!
Sunsets Party Cruise
The evening cruise brings the best nighttime skyline views of Downtown Nashville. Our licensed captains will first cruise downriver for a picturesque sunset view only available aboard the Pontoon Saloon. As the sun sets, drinks flow, and the party starts to hit the dance floor, you’ll be cruising by Broadway soaking up all the city lights. This Nashville river boat cruise is a Honky Tonkin’ blast!
