Board your riverboat to the delightful tunes of the Steam Calliope. Experience the sights and sounds of river life that enchanted characters of history and literature - like Mark Twain's Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer - and see the bustling activity of America's second-largest port!

Lunch option available Monday - Saturday.

Brunch option available Sunday only.

The boat boards at 11:00am and 2:00pm and departs promptly at 11:30am and 2:30pm. We recommend arriving 15 minutes prior to boarding.

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.

    Long weight. Crowded boat. Couldn’t hear the person speaking over speaker. The ride itself was great. I think there is a scam with the boat and parking people though. Paid for 5 hour parking and came back under 4 hours and had a boot on the car. That was a hassle and scam there.
