THE NEW
GEORGIA QUEEN
GEORGIA QUEEN
Built in 1995 as a luxury floating casino on
the Mississippi River, at a cost of 14 million
dollars, this 1800s majestic paddlewheel-
style riverboat spent many years traveling the
Mississippi River. After gambling legislations
changed, allowing for land-based casinos to
open, the riverboat would undergo a 4 million
dollar make-over taking on a new face of the
grandest riverboat dinner cruise ship.
The Georgia Queen will make a long journey
leaving behind her once home and travel 2,800
miles down the Mississippi River, across the Gulf of
Mexico, down and around the shorelines of Florida
and Key West to call Savannah her new home.
This spectacular paddlewheel-style riverboat will
be joining the Savannah River Queen as her grand
sister ship — The Georgia Queen!
The Georgia Queen has
returned to being the largest
and grandest riverboat of its
kind in the United States and
is among the top elite in the
country. The Georgia Queen
measures an impressive 230 ft
long, 64 ft wide and a towering
68ft tall and features 3 grand
ballrooms with over 15,000
sq/ft of dining space, a 5,000+
sq/ft fully open-air, top deck
with patio seating and
encompasses a total of 38,000
sq/ft. She can carry 1,000
passengers plus 200 crew;
which makes her the size of
a small cruise ship.
The Georgia Queen boasts
an exquisite, multi-deck, fully
equipped gourmet kitchen that
will be directed by Savannah
Riverboat Cruises’ Executive
Chef and his culinary staff.
This elite kitchen is also
equipped with a large service
elevator, making traveling
between galleys discrete and
easy. The onboard kitchen
facility will change the entire
dining experience for guests
and will allow for more plated
dinner opportunities and
flexibility in menu items.
The Georgia Queen’s 3 grand ballrooms are
spacious and beautifully designed with an
incredible seating capacity of 250 guests. Each
with a charming starlit curtain draped stage for
entertainment and a roomy wooden dance floor.
Enormous crystal chandeliers and gorgeous
marble inspired columns enhance the elegance
and richness of each ballroom. Stunning fully
equipped bars on each floor come at no surprise
for this ship, nothing falls short of impressive!
The 2nd deck ballroom has an off-set private
parlor room that will be perfect for smaller groups
that would like to charter a private space. The
Georgia Queen makes traveling between the 1st
and 3rd floors easy for guests with a passenger
elevator located at the bow of the ship where
they will board. Guests can choose to take the
elevator or walk up the grand entry staircase to
each ballroom. The Georgia Queen’s top-deck
has a sprawling 5,000+ square feet of open air
patio space perfect for sightseeing and enjoying
the refreshing river breezes. Top deck Sunset
Cruises will surely delight guests with an a-la-
cart specialty menu, live entertainment and
breathtaking sunsets while they relax on patio
style seating.
