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.

Nice evening cruise. Food was ok and plentiful. You’re able to buy drinks on board as well. Wish the tour guide was louder but some of that was all the people talking on board which made it hard to hear. The band was good. Overall nice trip.

We learned some things and really enjoyed the jazz band. And they let you look at the engines and boiler room. That was interesting. It was a nice romantic ride.

Beautiful sunset, good commentary, great live music and authentic food.
Beautiful old boat of 3 levels. 2 seating times for dinner I would have rather been in the first seating so I didn’t miss some of the view.

Definitely worth the cost. I took my 3 kids on this boat for dinner and a cruise and it was nothing short of amazing. There are options to purchase photos of your group. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. There is a gift shop and you can go into the engine room. Highly recommend taking this tour.
