Jungle Queen, one of South Florida’s best-known attractions, debuts its new and reimagined River Cruise + Island Experience, “Ignite the Night.”
The Jungle Queen dinner cruises have been enjoyed by millions of guests and are a must on everyone’s list when living or visiting South Florida. The entire evening is family-friendly and is appropriate for all ages.
Jungle Queen, family-owned and operated since 1935, is now run by third-generation President, Michael Faber. “We are so excited about the new direction of our Jungle Queen experience,” said Faber. “Times and tastes change, and today’s audiences want something new. The cruise has been finetuned and the Polynesian island show is one of the best in the world.”
The new adventure starts at 6 pm with a 1- hour fully narrated sightseeing cruise aboard the Jungle Queen 385-passenger riverboat, boasting a full liquor bar offering signature cocktails. The cruise travels down Fort Lauderdale’s New River and the Intracoastal Waterway known as “The Venice of America”.
Guests discover the history of the exceptional homes lining Millionaire’s Row, glide alongside the spectacular mega yachts of the rich and famous and admire gorgeous flora and fauna native to South Florida.
At 7 pm, Jungle Queen docks, greeted by Polynesian entertainers at their extraordinary tropical island for dinner and a show.
Dinner includes All-You-Can-Eat BBQ, featuring savory fall-off-the-bone baby-back ribs, hand-battered chicken tenders, freshly made coleslaw, french fries, corn on the cob and cornbread. For vegan/vegetarian guests, Jungle Queen offers vegetable and tofu skewers, served over brown rice.
After dinner, for additional indulgences, guests may visit the Ice Cream Shop or outdoor Tiki Bar before being treated to the new and immersive “Ignite The Night” Polynesian extravaganza, featuring hula and fire dancers, fire eaters and more, presented by Drums of Polynesia.
