Steamboat Natchez Evening Jazz Cruise with Dinner Option

Overview
Savor the beauty and romance of the New Orleans skyline aboard the Dinner Jazz Cruise. Enjoy the tunes of the Dukes of Dixieland jazz band and a narrated tour provided by our captain while cruising the Mighty Mississippi River.

Please note: there are two seating times for dinner, so please make sure to check availability of both if one is not available. The first dinner seating is from 6-7:15pm and the second dinner seating is from 7:45-9pm.

The Steamboat NATCHEZ is taking some time off, but her sister vessel, the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will be taking her place. You’ll get the same authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi, enjoying traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and all the beautiful New Orleans sites, while also exploring the newly renovated riverboat. Make sure you check out all four decks - the top deck view is a sight to see! Upgrade your ticket to include the dinner buffet.

Great experience and atmosphere, all staff was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and filling. Drinks were great! Waitress Angela; nice, good intentions but seemed overwhelmed and missed a our drink order, almost forgot appetizers and bread, had to help self to dinner. (instructions stated to wait for waitress to tell you when to get in line for plates) other then that the entire experience was a great date night and allowed me to recreate our engagement experience (engaged in Mexico on cruise). Will attend in future, wanting to do a brunch time with friends!

Was looking forward to a really nice evening as this was one of the highest rated tours to take and it was very disappointing. The wait at the third floor bar was almost 45min in line only to be greeted by very rude and inefficient bartenders, stating that our order of a “French 75” was “tedious” and continued to tell us to proceed to another bar to get it. The ship did not cruise due to fog so we were unable to experience that part or do any sightseeing. And finally, the food was very basic overall and not something that I would recommend. The price far outweighed the experience and we regretted spending our time and money here.

The dinner was great, but the boat never left the dock because of the fog. They offered to give us a free trip the following morning, so we boarded the boat again. This second time the boat didn't leave because of mechanical issues. Then the tour operator told us they'd automatically give us a partial refund. After emailing the tour operator they confirmed that I would actually have to reach out to viator to get the refund. The whole thing was a bust. I don't recommend.

Both of the cancellations were for safety issues, one fog and the other a maintenance issue that was not expected. Yes, you will be fully refunded. It must come through Viator as they collected your funds, not our company. If for any reason the refund does not get applied in the manner you charged it, within 10 days and we can reach out to them on your behalf. We apologize for your experience.
