Step aboard the historic Steamboat NATCHEZ or the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS for a relaxing two-hour sightseeing journey along the legendary Mississippi River. These authentic riverboats operate interchangeably until March 2026, offering the same classic experience filled with live New Orleans jazz, full-service bars, and sweeping views of the city skyline. As you cruise from the heart of the French Quarter, enjoy the captain’s engaging narration, explore the open decks, browse the onboard gift shop, and take in the rich maritime heritage of New Orleans. A lively calliope concert welcomes you before boarding, setting the tone for a memorable river adventure.
This sightseeing-only experience includes indoor and outdoor seating, a seasonal cocktail menu available for purchase, and plenty of photo opportunities throughout your journey. Morning and afternoon departures are available, with easy check-in and QR-code boarding. The cruise operates rain or shine, and while the vessel is handicap accessible, there is no elevator. Children under six sail free with a paying adult, and group rates apply for larger parties. With its iconic jazz music, relaxed ambiance, and breathtaking river views, this cruise delivers an unforgettable way to experience New Orleans from the water.
