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.

Easy epurchase, then exchange at live ticket booth onsite. Easy boarding process despite checking covid vaccine card or negative test, plus larger purse or bag check. Plenty of seating inside or out. Good pricing with or without lunch. Bathrooms plenty and clean. Bars on 3 of 4 floors. Small gift shop. Great experience, narrated. The music was ok, but the blaring Dixie jazz while waiting was awful, hugely loud and awful. We could not even hear announcements. We avoided the music deck onboard, not wanting a repeat. It was deafening. Really enjoyed the boarride. A+ bar service on deck 3, lady was excellent.

Thanks for the great review. We will let the band know to check sound on the decks. I thought maybe you meant the calliope that plays before boarding. Great History on it but not to everyone's preference.
