On this Sunday brunch cruise, travel along the Mississippi River while enjoying live jazz music and savoring a lovely buffet brunch, if option selected. Otherwise, sit inside in one of our elegantly appointed decks or sit outside on one of our outdoor decks and enjoy the sites and breezes of the Mississippi River. This authentic paddle-wheel riverboat will whisk you away to the romance and ambiance of yesteryear. Don't forget your camera, as you'll see amazing panoramas of the New Orleans skyline!

We have taken this ride before and liked it, especially the lunch buffet but this time the food was not a buffet. You get a plate practically thrown at you like prison food.
The only beverages included were tea & coffee, sodas had to be purchased. There was no bread, salad, or vegetables and the dessert was a very small portion of bread pudding. We asked for a vegetarian plate for our daughter & she was given rice and beans. Terrible experience will not be booking the lunch cruise ever again. Definitely not worth the price!

I didn't get to experience the boat ride because I didn't know that the meal was not included so I couldn't get my refund because my bar code was scanned so I didn't get that experience so I would like to know if I could get a refund they told me to go through your company for a refund

This was a great experience for our first day in New Orleans! While lining up for the Jazz Brunch Sunday cruise, we got to watch and listen to the calliope concert. The steamboat was beautifully decorated for Christmas! We were handed a card with seating instructions for brunch in the first seating, which we really were happy about. On boarding, we immediately were seated in the dining room and then got a very prompt cup of gumbo for each of us. Salads and fruits were on the table ready to go. The waiter was prompt with coffee for everyone, and the buffet lines were immediately open even before the ship started on the cruise. We really loved all the foods that we tried, and my favorite was the grillades and grits. I also really was happy that everyone got to try BOTH kinds of dessert (though the bananas part of the Bananas Foster was only 3 slices. Not a big deal though because we were all pretty full as the buffet really is all-you-can-eat!) The only downside of the brunch being first was that we couldn't fully hear the narration due to the noise in the dining room, which is just the way it was (fine.)
We then explored the ship and really loved visiting the engine room! I could not believe we could walk all through the engine room as much as we wanted and looked at all the machinery! My husband and his friend who are both engineers really enjoyed being able to hang out in the engine room for unlimited time. We also liked sitting outside during the trip back to NOLA and enjoyed the scenery. The crewmembers were all very friendly. Leaving the ship was also simple and a breeze. We were back after exactly 2 hours, so the prompt departure and arrival was also appreciated. I highly recommend doing this and including the brunch in your ticket purchase!!!

It was a rainy day so we could not do much of the deck viewing. We did the brunch option, which I recommend. It's a solid brunch with lovely desserts! The sodas are expensive, but that is to be expected. The music was nice, and the gift shop was reasonable. It was interesting to see the waterway and listen to the information provided. All of the employees were friendly and helpful.

Wonderful views from the only steamboat with paddle wheel operating in NOLA on the Mississippi. Tour guide info was informative and knowledge about barges, boats and cruise lines was interesting. Highly recommend.
