The General Jackson has carried sightseers and dinner-theater crowds along the Cumberland River since 1985, docking near the Opryland complex and offering some of the only views of the city from the water.
Opry Entertainment Group has not detailed an exact final sailing date, so visitors hoping to take a cruise should check availability directly before building it into a trip.
