Charleston Sunset Blues & BBQ Dinner Cruise
Overview
Join us aboard the Charleston Princess for a fantastic evening cruise. We have partnered with a variety of local and regional musicians for a fantastic cruise featuring amazing live music, breathtaking views of the "Holy City" and a delicious BBQ buffet! Please keep in mind that while this started with Blues music more than 17 years ago, we are now offering different genres throughout the season! The delicious buffet includes pulled pork, smoked chicken, mac & cheese, cole slaw, buns and sauces on side, tea and water. Fully stocked cash bar on board! This cruise is perfect for date night, groups of friends, group outings, or any occasion. We are now in our 17th season and look forward to another great year!
