Travel back in time to a grand era of sumptuous hospitality and Victorian splendor as a guest aboard Southern Empress Cruises. The grandeur and charm of this authentic riverboat serves as an elegant setting for Sunday Brunch, a romantic evening of dinner and dancing, or a private party on special occasions such as a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or corporate banquet, and casino charters.

As the Southern Empress cruises on Lake Conroe, guests can enjoy the romance and enchantment of dining and dancing. Large parties may prefer our elegant hors d'voures serving up to 200 guests. We schedule a variety of entertainers throughout the year to entertain you with great music of the sixties, seventies, eighties and beyond. Two of the three spacious decks on the Southern Empress are enclosed and offer year-round cruising comfort.

The opulence of the 1800's is evident throughout this elegant paddleboat with features reminiscent of the Victorian era. An antique-style bar, custom-cut leaded and beveled crystal doors and windows, chandeliers, polished brass, solid oak carved moldings, and raised paneling compliment the grand interior of this gracious Southern lady.

Authentic embossed tin ceilings and a rich setting of colors and textures that include wine and violet velour, damask linens, delicate lace and floral carpets add to the ambiance and charm of the Southern Empress.
