Take a Savannah Riverboat Cruise

Last but not least on my list is an unforgettable Savannah Riverboat cruise. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and world-class dinners, or just sightsee the breathtaking city of Savannah.

I saved this for last because just the thought of a Riverboat Cruise reminds me of childhood tales from Mark Twain about Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Such marvelous memories can be recaptured on a Savannah Riverboat Cruise.
