Savor the beauty and romance of the New Orleans skyline aboard the Dinner Jazz Cruise. Enjoy the Dukes of Dixieland jazz band and a narration provided by our captain while cruising the Mighty Mississippi River.
There are two seating times for dinner, so please make sure to check availability of both if one is not available. The 1st dinner seating is from 6-7:15pm and the 2nd is from 7:45-9pm. Groups must be booked as one reservation in order to be seated together for dinner.
The Steamboat NATCHEZ is taking some time off, but her sister vessel, the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will be taking her place. You’ll get the same authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi, enjoying traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and all the beautiful New Orleans sites, while also exploring the newly renovated riverboat. Make sure you check out all four decks - the top deck view is a sight to see! Upgrade your ticket to include the dinner buffet.

Very informational trip and the buffet was good. I wish the buffet included soda. Make sure you visit the engine room as that was awesome to see.

A historical evening spent on this steamboat based in NOLA. I would definitely give the food a miss. The best bit was the creamed spinach and gumbo. It was mass catering so it didn’t suit our needs. Although the server was lovely and attentive. The photo scam at the beginning didn’t impress either and they wanted to charge $38 and taxes for the privilege. Apart from these negatives the steamboat was amazing. Loved the journey down the Mississippi. Unfortunately couldn’t hear the person telling us the sights and history due to the loud talking and band. But it didn’t matter it was lovely to be on the boat steeped in history. Well worth taking the trip but forego the food.

This was an amazing experience that I can’t really put into words. The drinks were amazing, the food was incredible and the bonding I got to do with my family while on the ride was priceless. Looking forward to my next trip to NOLA!

The steamboat was clean the crew were friendly. The food was okay. I thought the beef was overcooked. The information shared while underway was enjoyable and informative.

Had a great time on the Natchez! The guide was very good. The engine tour was very interesting, and the Dixieland band was great

What a nice night on the Mississippi. Great cruise. I love the band . I can't think of anything else to write down on this review but the app is making me write a long review.
