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

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.
