New Orleans Steamboat Natchez Harbor Cruise

Board your riverboat to the delightful tunes of the Steam Calliope. Experience the sights and sounds of river life that enchanted characters of history and literature - like Mark Twain's Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer - and see the bustling activity of America's second-largest port!

Please note, the boat boards at 11:00am and departs promptly at 11:30am. We offer two seating times for lunch - 11:00 and 12:15pm. If you select the first lunch seating, please arrive around 10:45am and go straight to the dining room when you board the vessel.

Lovely ride but on the boring side. The tour didnā€™t really offer anything super interesting and if you were sitting on the side of the boat the guide wasnā€™t referencing during his speech, there was zero to see.

It is to be relaxing with the cruise and music but perhaps it did not fit your preferences. Our apology.

We bought tickets on line. When we went to board there was a very long line and we were never told we had to show the on line tickets at a booth and get actual tickets to board. We were lucky that we were able to get seats outside. Make sure you get there very early to line up I strongly suggest if hungry buy food at French Market to take on board. If you sit on one side you really only see tankers for a most of the ride

We regret your disappointment. If you bought directly from us or were on our website, it does say to get your "Boarding passes" at the window. Shortly we will be scanning confirmations as well.

Boring low quality experience. Nothing to see really. Food was not good at all. Overall a waste of time and money. I was expecting real good jazz playing all the time. The band was not good either.
