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 evening trip boards at 1800 but doesn't sail until 1900. We boarded in daylight however by the time we sailed it was 1900. Some lovely sights of the New Orleans skyline but little else to see in the dark. The band was playing on an unsesonally cold night which may have marred our enjoyment however no hot beverages on deck 4 and could only get them on the lower deck. A lovely well maintained boat but would reccomend a day time trip when the nights draw in as not much to see.

Some people enjoy the peace on the river at night, where others prefer the lively daytime cruises like the Sunday Brunch.

The efficiency of the staff was amazing, Melanie, our server was terrific! The food was surprisingly very, very good. Plenty of room to move around on deck to see the sights. All in all a very enjoyable evening.

The cruise was lovely and the music was great. It was a cool night and got dark before the cruise started (we were in the second seating for dinner) so we didn't get to see much of the route but we soaked in a beautiful sunset on the Mississippi while everyone was boarding. The food was good--buffet style--and my children and I had a great time. I would definitely recommend it.

We welcome families to see the River. Children enjoy that they can see so much in the Port and on the shore.
