Cruises in New Orleans

We loved the covered shaded dining area, the snacks and the staffs was so friendly! We lived learning about New Orleans

We really enjoyed this little cruise on the Mississippi. The paddlewheel boat took us back to our childhood, and we spent the whole time thinking about Tom Sawyer :)

Firstly, it's the only steam powered paddle steamer operating out of New Orleans. So it's both historic and authentic. Secondly, it's a really relaxing and good way to see and learn more about the city - and you get some really good views of the city skyline. So that all makes it a worthwhile excursion. Recommended.

The timing is perfect, while loading and waiting for departure you get to explore this beautiful ship. During this time you hear the live jazz band playing on the upper deck, where you can sit and enjoy the music while watching ships of all kinds pull into port. After departure you get to hear stories and history about the area while the cool breeze pushes away the heat from earlier that day. The sun drops on the way back and the lights from Louisiana's night life can be seen in the distance. To the south you see a bridge lit up with purplish blue lights. As you turn the corner everything comes into view. It's magnificent, the ships ,the small waves and music fills the air. We will definitely take this tour again..

If in New Orleans this is a must , from the service , food , history , couldn't ask for a better cruise along the Mississippi, the jazz band were great . Loved the buffet and trying the local cuisine, this cruise was also well priced and good value for money

This cruise was great! I'm so happy I signed up for the first sitting to dinner, because then I got to enjoy steaming down the river fully. The band was amazing and so was the food. I will recommend to my friends.

Had a wonderful time on the City of New Orleans Riverboat cruise. We did the lunch cruise and the food was delicious. Mrs. Iris B in the dining room was super helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our lunch. The cruise price was very reasonable considering it included lunch also. Would take this cruise again. Had fun spending quality time with my sisters!

The music, history, and the laid back vibe. The accessibility to tour the engine room with the staff eager to answer our mechanical questions was amazing. Feeling the breeze in our faces on the bow, and the gentle spray from the paddle wheel at the back was such a wonderful experience.
