Cruises in New Orleans

The timing is perfect, while loading and waiting for departure you get to explore this beautiful ship. During this time you hear the live jazz band playing on the upper deck, where you can sit and enjoy the music while watching ships of all kinds pull into port. After departure you get to hear stories and history about the area while the cool breeze pushes away the heat from earlier that day. The sun drops on the way back and the lights from Louisiana's night life can be seen in the distance. To the south you see a bridge lit up with purplish blue lights. As you turn the corner everything comes into view. It's magnificent, the ships ,the small waves and music fills the air. We will definitely take this tour again..

The boat ride was calming, with the cool breeze, sultry music and beautiful backdrop of the city's lights, bridge and skyline.

This cruise was great! I'm so happy I signed up for the first sitting to dinner, because then I got to enjoy steaming down the river fully. The band was amazing and so was the food. I will recommend to my friends.

Everything from the buffet dinner to the live music accompanied by a sunset over the Mississippi River was phenomenal! It is clear that the Steamboat Natchez staff have refined every part of the experience to be seamless. Boarding was a breeze and everything is explained clearly so you are not left wondering where to sit, what time the buffet begins and ends, and where various amenities are. The live bands were wonderful and the views were the highlight of my entire honeymoon. I will absolutely be booking this cruise again.

Had a wonderful time on the City of New Orleans Riverboat cruise. We did the lunch cruise and the food was delicious. Mrs. Iris B in the dining room was super helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our lunch. The cruise price was very reasonable considering it included lunch also. Would take this cruise again. Had fun spending quality time with my sisters!

The music, history, and the laid back vibe. The accessibility to tour the engine room with the staff eager to answer our mechanical questions was amazing. Feeling the breeze in our faces on the bow, and the gentle spray from the paddle wheel at the back was such a wonderful experience.

We really enjoyed this little cruise on the Mississippi. The paddlewheel boat took us back to our childhood, and we spent the whole time thinking about Tom Sawyer :)
