Steamboat Natchez


The Steamboat Natchez is the only true steamboat left in New Orleans for passengers to take a cruise on.  The cruise leaves from the Riverfront area of New Orleans for an approximately 1-mile trip north of the port. They run multiple cruises throughout the day, but we decided to take the night time dinner cruise.  During this cruise, you have two options for the time to eat dinner.  You can eat at either 6 PM while the ship is still docked, or at 7:15 PM while the ship is at sail.  We opted for the early dinner to allow us to enjoy the actual cruise more.  The dinner food was decent, but nothing special.


During the cruise, you get a nice view of the New Orleans skyline from the Mississippi River.  In addition, you get to enjoy the music of Dukes of Dixieland, who were phenomenal.  This is a great way to experience New Orleans' Jazz and River history all in one.
