Steamboat Natchez Jazz Cruise with Lunch Option + French Quarter Carriage Tours

Embrace the romance, rhythm, and history of the Crescent City with the Steamboat NATCHEZ Daytime Jazz Cruise with Lunch Option + French Quarter Carriage Tours. This unforgettable pairing lets you experience New Orleans from both river and street, blending scenic relaxation with old-world charm.

Start your day aboard the Steamboat NATCHEZ, an authentic paddlewheel riverboat that sails the mighty Mississippi. Before boarding, enjoy a nostalgic calliope concert that sets the mood for your two-hour cruise. Once underway, the Steamboat Stompers fill the air with live jazz as you soak up skyline views of the French Quarter, Jackson Square, and the riverfront.

Guests who choose the optional Creole lunch can enjoy regional favorites like jambalaya, red beans and rice, and bread pudding—served fresh on board with true Southern hospitality. Between bites, explore all four decks or relax on the top deck for panoramic views of the New Orleans shoreline.

After your river journey, trade the paddlewheel for a mule-drawn carriage and discover the French Quarter’s 300 years of history from a local’s perspective. Your licensed guide will share fascinating tales of Creole culture, voodoo legends, and architectural landmarks like St. Louis Cathedral and the Cabildo. Clip-clop past balconies draped in ironwork and through the lively Marigny district as you uncover stories that make this neighborhood one of the most iconic in the world.

Together, these experiences showcase the two sides of New Orleans—the easygoing elegance of its riverfront and the vibrant heartbeat of its historic streets.

Book the French Quarter Carriage Tours + Steamboat NATCHEZ Daytime Jazz Cruise with Lunch Option today and enjoy the best of New Orleans, from the river’s rhythm to the Quarter’s charm.
