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 boat is pretty and the lunch is good. Itā€™s a relaxing way to spend a couple of hours, but there just isnā€™t much in the way of views to see on the portion of the river where the trip takes place. The narration could also use an injection of humor to make the trip more fun.

We will certainly talk to the narrator about a little more humor to his facts and stories.

The paddle boat was great but there is nothing to see on this part of the Mississippi! Food was not great. Daughter vegan & no options even though I was asked for dietary requirements. If you have food you canā€™t get a seat on the deck after! Donā€™t have food. For $39 it is ok- trip only no food

This city was founded as a port city and to this day is a busy international port. We accommodate as many food choices as we can with the number of people. We now have a vegan option at dinner and looking to what we could offer for lunch.
