Journey through Louisiana’s history, beauty, and music with the Steamboat NATCHEZ Evening Jazz Cruise with Dinner Option + Houmas House Mansion Tour. This pairing perfectly blends Old South elegance with the vibrant energy of modern New Orleans.
Start your day at Houmas House, known as “The Crown Jewel of Louisiana’s River Road.” This beautifully restored plantation offers guided tours through its grand Greek Revival mansion, led by costumed docents who bring 19th-century life to vivid detail. Wander through 38 acres of lush gardens, explore period furnishings, and admire the art and architecture that showcase the wealth of the sugar barons who once called this estate home.
As the sun sets, return to the city and board the Steamboat NATCHEZ for an enchanting evening jazz cruise. Before departure, enjoy a calliope concert, then settle in as the Dukes of Dixieland take the stage. Opt for the Creole dinner buffet and feast on New Orleans favorites like jambalaya, gumbo, and bread pudding while admiring the glittering skyline from the river.
Between the serene plantation gardens and the vibrant energy of a live jazz river cruise, this combo delivers two unforgettable perspectives on Louisiana’s legacy—its historic past and its lively present.
