Welcome aboard the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS!
The Steamboat NATCHEZ and Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will cruise interchangeably depending upon bookings and private events until March 2026, when each vessel will operate her own schedule. You’ll get the same authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi River, enjoying traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and all the beautiful New Orleans sites on both vessels.
Our scenic and lively brunch cruises feature authentic New Orleans-style cuisine, including Creole favorites, paired with a full cash bar offering handcrafted cocktails. Enjoy the soulful sounds of live jazz music performed by talented local musicians while taking in breathtaking views of the New Orleans Riverfront!
