Not just a boat, the Steamboat NATCHEZ is a time machine that fills its passengers with the romance and marvel of yesteryear! Cruise along the Mississippi River and let the Steamboat NATCHEZ whisk you away with its atmosphere and ambiance, with everything from a museum- quality Engine Room to the ship's orders being called over an old-time megaphone. This evening jazz cruise is a great way to experience New Orleans' beauty and culture.
As you steam ahead, soak in breathtaking views of the city skyline while enjoying a New Orleans cultural experience – a live jazz performance performed by the New Orleans band Dukes of Dixieland, a Grammy nominee.
Enjoy dining inside or outside on a delectable Louisiana-style buffet dinner including prime rib, chicken, pasta and salad. Two separate dining times give you the flexibility to enjoy the evening at your own pace.
A sample dinner menu can be found in the Itinerary section below.
Please Note: The price displayed is based on the cruise only option. Cruise with dinner option must be selected in order to confirm that your cruise includes the meal.

Very informational trip and the buffet was good. I wish the buffet included soda. Make sure you visit the engine room as that was awesome to see.

A historical evening spent on this steamboat based in NOLA. I would definitely give the food a miss. The best bit was the creamed spinach and gumbo. It was mass catering so it didn’t suit our needs. Although the server was lovely and attentive. The photo scam at the beginning didn’t impress either and they wanted to charge $38 and taxes for the privilege. Apart from these negatives the steamboat was amazing. Loved the journey down the Mississippi. Unfortunately couldn’t hear the person telling us the sights and history due to the loud talking and band. But it didn’t matter it was lovely to be on the boat steeped in history. Well worth taking the trip but forego the food.

This was an amazing experience that I can’t really put into words. The drinks were amazing, the food was incredible and the bonding I got to do with my family while on the ride was priceless. Looking forward to my next trip to NOLA!

The steamboat was clean the crew were friendly. The food was okay. I thought the beef was overcooked. The information shared while underway was enjoyable and informative.

Had a great time on the Natchez! The guide was very good. The engine tour was very interesting, and the Dixieland band was great

What a nice night on the Mississippi. Great cruise. I love the band . I can't think of anything else to write down on this review but the app is making me write a long review.
