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.

The ride was relaxing and peaceful; however, we left almost 30 minutes late and finished 15 minutes early. Not that big a deal but advertising for a two hour trip should be honored with a longer travel time or advertising should state 90 minutes or less before purchasing

Please let us know about when you cruised so we can find out why the cruise was not the full 2 hours. Sometimes river clearance will make us a few minutes either way, but not this much. Thank you. [email protected]

We came five years ago as a couple without the kids and wanted to bring our girls back to experience the cruise. What was advertised as a buffet lunch was anything but, our food was brought to us whether we liked it or not. The girls did not like it. It was also pouring rain but the crew did a magnificent job trying to keep everyoneā€™s spirits up.

We do post our menu of the sampler buffet. You certainly did not need to take anything that you did not want. We apologize that you did not enjoy your cruise.
