Yesterday, my wife and I were on the look-out for more fun things to do in and around Knoxville. The weather was glorious and it seemed like a wonderful day for a riverboat cruise. We contacted the Tennessee Riverboat Company by phone and asked about the afternoon excursion aboard the authentic paddle-wheel boat Star of Knoxville. With AAA discounts available,... More

WOW! My friends and I had a wonderful lunch cruise on the Star of Knoxville. The crew was so very friendly and full of local information. The food was very good, chicken in white sauce, green beans, corn, roll, and good ole fashioned buttery mashed potatoes. Dessert was a delicious strawberry cobbler. The cruise down the Tennessee River was peaceful... More

My husband has been wanting to go on the TN Riverboat for quite some time. Finally, one day I got an e-mail from Groupon for the deal of the day & it was for the TN Riverboat so of course I snatched it up. This past weekend was the last weekend my husband & I would have time together for... More

Didn't really know what to expect, but my wife and I were celebrating our 9th anniversary, and since we had taken a riverboat cruise as part of our honeymoon, this seemed like a natural choice. I chose the Murder Mystery Cruise and Dinner, as it was planned on our anniversary. The crew was extremely nice and attentive. The food was... More
