Welcome aboard the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS!

The Steamboat NATCHEZ is taking some time off, but her sister vessel, the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will be taking her place. You’ll get the same authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi, enjoying traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and all the beautiful New Orleans sites, while also exploring the newly renovated riverboat. Make sure you check out all four decks - the top deck view is a sight to see!

Here is a bit more about the NATCHEZ for when she returns:

*The Steamboat NATCHEZ decks, engine room, and bars will be open for your enjoyment either before or after lunch depending upon your seating time. Included in the ticket price is the cruise, plated Creole Lunch Sampler, and live jazz by the Steamboat Stompers. Service charge and alcoholic drinks are not included in the ticket price.*

Step aboard one of last authentic steam-powered steamboats for a memorable cruise around New Orleans on the Mississippi River. Hear stories of the Big Easy's rich history, sit back, relax and enjoy the New Orleans atmosphere as the smooth jazz fills your ears.
