The Steamboat Natchez and other New Orleans River Cruises

New Orleans is a city on a river, and the best way to see it is on one of the river cruises. Day-cruises on the paddlewheel boats are a great way to see the city and the surrounding area. Choose from jazz/dinner cruises, harbor cruises, and an authentic steamboat paddlewheeler - the Steamboat Natchez.

The 2 New Orleans river cruises are:
  • Steamboat Natchez
  • Creole Queen

Steamboat Natchez

steamboat natchezThe Steamboat Natchez offers dinner jazz and harbor cruises. An authentic steamboat paddlewheeler, the Natchez' calliope plays music while the great wheel moves the ship on the Mississippi. Cruises depart from the Toulouse Street Wharf three times a day.

When the Steamboat Natchez launched in 1975, it revived a famous name and created one of only six true steam powered sternwheelers on the Mississippi today. The Natchez combines contemporary construction, safety, and comfort with all the authenticity and style of her classic steamboat predecessors.

Creole Queen

The Creole Queen also offers cruises to Mardi Gras World. Watch the artists of the Blaine Kern Studios the figures, fantasies and floats that make Mardi Gras the biggest party on Earth.
