Step aboard the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS for a magical evening cruise along the mighty Mississippi River. This sightseeing-only experience lets you soak in the beauty of New Orleans at night while enjoying handcrafted cocktails, live narration, and the refined sounds of the Grammy-nominated Dukes of Dixieland. Whether sailing on the iconic Steamboat NATCHEZ or the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS—used interchangeably until March 2026—you’ll enjoy the same authentic riverboat ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating, unmatched skyline views, and a charming calliope concert before departure. Explore all four decks for stunning photo opportunities, especially the top deck, which offers some of the most breathtaking perspectives of the city.
Designed for a relaxed yet immersive evening on the water, this two-hour cruise combines rich history, live jazz, and a vibrant New Orleans atmosphere. While meals are not included in this option, guests may purchase drinks from full-service bars on every deck or upgrade to the Party Package for added perks. Boarding begins at 6:00pm, with the cruise running from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, rain or shine. The vessel is wheelchair accessible on select decks, and reservations, proper check-in, and dressy-casual attire are recommended. With unforgettable riverfront views, lively entertainment, captivating stories, and the timeless charm of a classic paddlewheeler, this evening sightseeing cruise delivers a truly memorable New Orleans experience.
