In order to help preserve the French Quarter from vehicular traffic, it is requested that you please walk, if possible, to the convenient tour departure point - just a short stroll from most downtown hotels.
The Steamboat NATCHEZ is handclapped accessible to the main deck and restrooms only.
Infant rates apply provided they do not occupy a seat.
The tour cruises rain or shine, however the cruise may be cancelled due to severe or dangerous weather conditions.
Anyone looking to book a group of 9 or more should contact the booking site directly. Different rates apply.
Should the Steamboat NATCHEZ need to take time off, her sister vessel will be taking her place. You'll get the same authentic experience of a grand paddlewheeler on a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Extremely enjoyable day. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. A nice leisurely ride down the river and back. I recommend this experience if you want a relaxing noontime meal.

Absolute waste of time. We took just a tour, no food but we saw the food people were ratting and it looked horrible. The boat ride was cold and boring. There’s nothing to see!
