Gunshots ring out…The room grows silent…The mystery begins. Your quiet evening dinner has turned into a “Who done it thriller!” Be careful, you may be a suspect…or even a victim. This will be a dinner to DIE for!

Enjoy Dinner and A Murder Mystery aboard the Delta King, an authentic 285-foot riverboat. She was christened on May 20, 1927 and began her daily river voyages between San Francisco and Sacramento. In the early 40’s she was drafted into the U.S. Navy to serve on the San Francisco Bay as a net tender, floating barracks, troop transport and hospital ship.

Today the Delta King is permanently moored in Old Sacramento. She is more than just a riverboat…the Delta King is a living memory.
