The food was surprisingly good, especially considering there were 2 large, back-to-back dinners served. Amazing! The servers were friendly and efficient, the boat was clean and well-mantained. I loved the authentic steam powered calliope - and BOAT! The evening was a real treat. Piece of constructive criticism? We were on the starboard side, and most of the narration was regarding that to the port, sailing out. Coming back, it was dark, so we missed it. That was disappointing. Not sure how to remedy that?

Our server, Milton, was fantastic! Pleasant, attentive and personable! Food was delicious and the narrator clear and knowledgeable. Wonderful trip! Steamboat Natchez was a perfect way to end our trip to New Orleans!

The meal was excellent, waitresses and those manning the buffet were very pleasant! We were able to get a great seat outside for the cruise part. Watching the fireworks so close to the show was the highlight!

Cruise down the Mississippi on a 2-hour boat ride while soaking in that classic New Orleans swing performed by the Grammy-nominated Dukes of Dixieland.

The hearty buffet dinner served on board includes servings of Tossed Salad Du Jour, Creole Creamed Spinach, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, and more.

Take in skyline views from the indoor and outdoor decks, swing by the vintage engine room, and hear fascinating stories from the onboard guide.

With 6pm and 7:45pm seatings, you get the flexibility to cruise and dine on your own schedule.

What to Bring

Shirts and shoes are a must for all cruises. If you're joining the Dinner Jazz Cruise, opt for “dressy casual.” Skip the jeans and go for dress pants, a skirt, or a nice blouse. Guys, a collared shirt—button-down or polo—adds a polished touch.

What’s Not Allowed

This is a smoke-free cruise. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the boat, inside or out.

Accessibility

The cruise is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Guide dogs are more than welcome aboard.

Additional Information

Both the Steamboat NATCHEZ and Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will alternate departures depending on scheduling needs and private events until March 2026, when they’ll adopt individual timetables. Either way, you'll still enjoy two hours of live jazz, cocktails, and Crescent City charm—best experienced from the top deck of your steamboat.

Boarding starts 1 hour before departure, so get there on time for a relaxed check-in.

If you're 21 or older, you can grab your beverages at the counter. Bring along your photo ID with birthdate, as required by Louisiana law.

Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the redemption point.

Please arrive at the redemption point 15 mins before the scheduled time of your visit to avoid any delays.
