Daytime Jazz Cruises
The Steamboat NATCHEZ and Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will cruise interchangeably depending upon bookings and private events until March 2026, when each vessel will operate her own schedule. You’ll get the same authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi River, enjoying traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and all the beautiful New Orleans sites on both vessels.
