Schedule

• According to the Tunica CVB, the riverboat has a new schedule as of April 2010. "Because our visitors have enjoyed the cruises so much in the past, we are making the cruises longer this season, and we will be offering one sightseeing cruise Tuesday through Friday," said Lynn Barton, one of the owners of the Tunica Queen. There are two sightseeing cruises offered at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday, Barton said. Dinner and entertainment cruises are offered Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. The evening cruise allows visitors to view the sunset over the Mississippi River. Cruises are available March through November and in December for holiday parties and groups.
