New Orleans for art & culture lovers

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..

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!

Truly enjoyed listening to the history and jazz music on this tour, what a pleasant way to spend the day, the staff was terrific and lunch was pretty good as well.
