Sunday Sightseeing Jazz Cruise

Experience a classic New Orleans adventure aboard the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS with this sightseeing-only cruise—no meal included. Enjoy a relaxed two-hour journey along the iconic Mississippi River as the Steamboat NATCHEZ and Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS rotate service through March 2026, ensuring an equally authentic riverboat experience on either vessel. Take in sweeping views from multiple decks, sip handcrafted cocktails, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of live New Orleans jazz performed by the Steamboat Stompers. With full access to indoor and outdoor seating, a live calliope concert before boarding, and captivating narration highlighting the city’s storied past, this cruise offers a perfect blend of leisure and cultural charm.

Throughout your journey, enjoy the freedom to explore the boat’s bars, gift shop, and scenic deck spaces while soaking in unforgettable riverfront panoramas. Morning and afternoon cruise options allow flexibility, and upgrades like the “Party Package” add even more indulgence. While meals, hotel transfers, and parking are not included, guests can purchase drinks on board and take advantage of family-friendly policies such as complimentary cruising for children under six (with paid adult). The vessel operates rain or shine, is handicap accessible (top deck via stairs only), and may substitute a similar riverboat when needed. With refined jazz, river breezes, and iconic views, your cruise promises an elegant, memorable New Orleans experience.
