Experience Steamboat Natchez Jazz Dinner Cruise
At the height of the Steamboat Era there were 4,000 steamboats navigating the water highways of America. Today there is only one steam powered paddle-wheeler left on the Mississippi River: The Steamboat Natchez.
As the iconic red paddle churns the Mighty Mississippi, the Natchez glides past the French Quarter and through one of the world’s most active ports. Experience the magic of days gone by as our two-time Grammy nominated Dukes of Dixieland as the sun sets behind the New Orleans skyline. Enjoy a Creole buffet prepared fresh daily in the galley and beverages from one of three on board bars. For all its history and romance, the excitement of riding a steamboat is as rich and genuine today as it was a century ago. Don’t forget to tour the engine room- always open to the public!
