DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE RIVER CRUISES

We took all the novel fun and engineering of a Pedal Tavern, and put it on a pontoon boat (and on the river where it is MUCH cooler!) to bring you the first and only Pedal Pontoon Cruises in Nashville. The River Queen Voyages Pedal Pontoon has 10 cycle stations that can host up to 16 guests on a 2 hour party boat adventure.

Our cruises are small, so we can tailor them to you!

We’ll play your favorite tunes while you party it up or sit back and relax, enjoying stunning views and photo ops as well as some light river history. Whether you rent out the entire boat for a Private Cruise, book a seat or two on the Public Party Cruise, or try out our family-friendly Downtown Sightseeing Cruise, we want you to have an unforgettable time seeing Nashville from a totally unique point of view. We provide the Captain and Deckhand, you just show up with your favorite drinks!
