General Jackson Showboat

Showboats never have had trouble drawing a crowd. They had everything: food, drink, glamour, the mystique of an elegant visitor from out of town, and most of all, the shows, music, singing, dancing and excitement that quickened the sleepy pace of life in hundreds of American river towns for over a century.

The General Jackson is the proud heir to this long tradition of floating musical palaces, but with a difference - she's a sleek, modern vessel, sparkling with the excitement of the historic paddle wheelers. The General Jackson combines the sights and sounds of a river excursion with sensational on-board entertainment and sumptuous food in a thoroughly congenial and relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy all the convenience of the age of technology on a unique paddlewheel cruise. The General Jackson is truly the grandest showboat of them all!

As with the showboats of old, the General Jackson truly comes to life at night. The dinner cruise sets new standards of excitement and originality for group activities.

You will step aboard into another world, where fine food and wonderfully attentive service awaits you. Refreshments abound and there is something to suite every individual taste. Choose the sophistication of an elegant cocktail lounge or the romantic informality of the open-air lounges. It is a truly distinctive prelude to that eagerly anticipated moment when dinner is announced.

Then, in the majestic, two-story-high Victorian Theater, you will take your place at a table set with crystal and china as our wait staff moves into action with quiet precision, serving one magnificent course after another.

At the far end of the room is the handsomely appointed stage. As tables are cleared, music suddenly sounds, the curtain parts and the entertainment begins. Our shows sparkle with variety and some of the country's finest young entertainers bursting with talent and energy.

The General Jackson is the ideal setting in which to enjoy the pleasure and company of friends, family, associates, or clients.
