Join us for complimentary drinks during our nightly cocktail hours to engage with fellow passengers and our friendly crew, each sharing stories and smiles, enhancing the warmth of your river voyage.

Day 3 - Decatur, AL

Unfolding along the banks of the Tennessee River and serving as a vital hub of activity and culture is the unique port of Decatur.

Closer to the river, Wilson Park offers serene views and a vintage carousel, embodying the city’s dedication to preserving green spaces amidst its urban expansion.

On the eastern shores of the Tennessee River, Savannah, resonates with historical significance and captivating scenery. Shiloh National Military Park, the site of a pivotal 1862 Civil War battle, invites exploration with its vivid reenactments and well-preserved trails, painting a vivid tableau of American history. At the heart of Savannah, the Tennessee River Museum offers an engaging chronicle of the river's integral role in shaping regional history, from ancient Native American settlements to the golden age of steamboats.
