Boat

The Southern Belle sightseeing cruise has so many wonderful things to offer during your visit in Chattanooga.

They will help you to best accommodate during your visit to Chattanooga , they’ll help book your cruise and they will give you all the information to have a splashing great time on your hour and a half sightseeing adventure aboard the Southern Belle. It is a great idea to arrive early and enjoy the food aboard the stationary vessel on the third floor which is where the burger bar resides.

There you can observe the spectacular riverfront view in downtown Chattanooga, also you will see the crew preparing the Southern Belle for departure. Once the captain makes the announcement to begin boarding you will make your way up to the beautiful open air deck of the Southern Belle for a relaxed sightseeing ride. Just to name a few sights you see along the way are the Chattanooga Skyline, the Bluff of the Art District, as wel as Mountain views and wildlife along the banks of the Tennessee River.

While aboard be sure to step into the pilot house for a chance of a lifetime opportunity to take the lead and drive on our 100 ton vessel.

You will see all of Chattanooga’s wildlife and maybe even see a couple of Chattanooga ducks or maybe the Chattanooga Ducks cruising down the TN River!
