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.

Depending on the time of year bring a jacket. It can get a bit cold at night, even on 70 degree days.

I was expecting a relaxing evening dinner cruise for $200. But instead there were 50+ teenagers and the dinner was extremely loud and chaotic. The food was okay. I wouldn’t do it again.

Music entertainment was amazing but it does feel like organised chaos getting people on and off the boat. Good way to experience the river by night! The band made up for everything else but they play up on the deck for just drinks rather than down in the dinner venue so be careful about what you book if you want to watch them!

Being out on Big Muddy ! We brought extra clothes and were fine. Being on water is always colder than you think. Wear long pants and bring an extra coat.

The ship was really nice and clean. Smooth ride, but the food wasn’t that good. The service and quality of that was very disorganized and bad.

So the band was awesome and the views from the ship were amazing. Even though I was sick the entire time due to motion sickness I still managed to enjoy. I definitely would recommend this ship! The crew was fun and very knowledgeable. Plus being able to see the engine room. My older kids loved that part!

It was chilly that evening with a strong wind. The band was in the dining room, and we did not get the dinner part of the cruise because everything we read said the food was not worth it. There was no place to go to listen to the jazz band, and nowhere to get out of the wind. We were pretty bored and miserable. We stood in the doorway of the engine room for the warm air blowing out of it. I will never recommend this tour to anyone.

Pretty average scenery and night lights. We chose not to dine onboard and just wanted a ride on a paddle wheel while in this part of US. The boat seems well maintained and to be able access to the engine room was great. However as a boat ride viewing spectacle it was very average.
