Riverboat Cruises
The Mississippi River is inextricably linked to the history of New Orleans,
and even today the Port of New Orleans remains the centerpiece of the
busiest port complex in the world. Although the port is now known more
for cargo than for passenger cruising, two riverboat companies offer elegant
jazz cruises that recall the splendor of the 19th century.
In general, evening cruises are geared more toward adults, with a focus
on dining and dancing, but children are welcome on all cruises.
New Orleans Dinner Jazz Cruise
When night falls, the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen rises to the occasion.
Step on board and cruise with us into the night where the sleepless activity
of America's busiest port buzzes. The sounds of a lively jazz band
fill the air as you enjoy a lavish Creole buffet in elegantly appointed
dining rooms.
The Creole Queen features outer decks with authentically patterned wrought
iron trims inviting guests to stroll back in time as they settle into
the mood of a bygone era. The interiors are richly appointed with plush
Victorian style draperies, soft period lighting, wooden parquet dance
floors, and Louisiana Cypress bars accented with brass railing for a warm
and welcoming setting. After dinner, enjoy your favorite cocktails and
sweet river breezes on the promenade deck as the city skyline slips by
under a canopy of stars.
