Hop aboard the Steamboat Natchez Harbor Jazz Cruise in New Orleans!
This is a 2-hour paddle boat tour of New Orleans that takes you on a journey back in time. Unlike the Creole Queen, you will get to check out the exclusive museum-like engine room on board. This cruise shows you why the city was founded on the beautiful crescent of the lower Mississippi River. Let us show you New Orleans, one of the world’s most active ports, as it can best be seen from the river – aboard The Riverboat City of New Orleans!
