New Orleans Steamboat Natchez Harbor Cruise

Overview
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.

Tried to get on 2:30 tour and waited in long line for tickets the day before. Get to the gate to board boat and are informed we need a vax card or PCR test. Husband and I are triple vaxed but didn't have the info available and it's fine but we needed to be told the day before! Also paid $36 for parking which then couldn't be reimbursed. Get tix for next day, get our vax cards ready, go to board boat, and the trip is cancelled due to mechanical problems. This is not announced over a loudspeaker. It is said quietly to parties one by one AFTER waiting in line to board the boat. Super rude. Wait in another long line to get reimbursed, but they wouldn't reimburse the parking fee of ANOTHER $36. We had to leave town at that point and couldn't get on a later ride. Paid $72 in parking total for a boat ride we never took. Extremely disappointing.

Our apologies. If we have an email of cell phone number you should have had a notice in advance. we can understand your disappointment. The Vaccination proof was a city mandate not issues by us as a company. We posted on three spots on our website.

Poor experience. We paid to go down the Mississippi River to look at boats transport scrap metal. The only good thing on board was the live band playing but I think this is a ploy to take your mind off the scrap metal boats.

Perfect for everyone in the family, music was amazing, drinks were reasonably priced. Staff was beyond friendly. Get there early if you want a chair to sit in. Like much earlier than the start of boarding.
