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.

Not enough outdoor seating.. other guests should not be allowed to ā€œsaveā€ seats for their friends / family. Made the experience unenjoyable.

Number one, there was absolutely NO social distancing or the ability to do so. They announced we should social distance and every around us laughed at the joke it was. The cruise, 6/15/2021, was crowded. There is not enough outside seating for a large percentage of the passengers. We had to stand the entire 2 1/4 hours, and that's not counting the 40 minutes standing in line waiting to get on. Passengers were rude. There was pushing and shoving to get off. The narration was somewhat informative, but repeating shopping opportunities multiple times. The jazz music was probably nice, but was hard to hear over all the conservations around us. We would never go again and would not recommend it. It was a wasted $76 for us.

There are no current city or state guidelines on social distancing but we ask guests to be considerate of their fellow passengers. There is seating on board for all guests, some indoors and some outdoors so perhaps you preferred one over the other and were not able to secure it. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
