About
A romantic setting for couples to enjoy a paddlewheel cruise on the lake; a relaxing night under the stars on the top deck; or perfect dinner to celebrate your anniversary. Grab a drink on the second floor, before we leave dock, and then enjoy while we sail into the sunset. The Southern Empress Cruises are three hours with an hour to board at the Southern Empress Lakeside Condominium. By coming aboard, you'll enjoy: the three decks of the Southern Empress, dinner on the main deck; then the party is on the Magnolia Deck, where the DJ keeps the good times going; the cash bar will make your favorite libation, then stroll outside on the Texas and Hurricane deck, and watch the lake slide by, is yet another natural sweet treat.
We begin boarding an hour prior to cruise times.
