Then take to the waters for a cruise on the Mississippi River with the iconic Steamboat NATCHEZ. Enjoy an authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi.

You’ll get the same authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi, enjoying traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and all the beautiful New Orleans sites, while also exploring the newly renovated riverboat.

  • Disappointing tour.

    The city tour was headed by tour guide Susan. At first she came across as very informative but as the tour progressed the information became an incessant, nonstop, outpouring of facts and figures that eventually went in one ear and out the other. Susan, take a breath, sometimes less is more. New Orleans doesn't actually have that many sights of any note and the tour was dragged out too long by looking at period houses of little interest. The cruise on the Natchez was also disappointing with little of interest on the river banks and the only consolation was being able to say you sailed a steamboat on the Mississippi.
