New Orleans: Evening Jazz Cruise with Optional Dinner

About this experience

New Orleans Evening Jazz Cruise with Optional Dinner This ticket grants entry to a two-hour evening cruise aboard the historic Steamboat Natchez along the Mississippi River, led by the onboard crew and featuring a live jazz performance by the Grammy-nominated Dukes of Dixieland. As the steamboat glides past the French Quarter and the downtown waterfront, guests take in twilight views of the New Orleans skyline whilst the music that made this city the birthplace of jazz fills the air. The cruise invites guests to explore multiple decks, including the engine room, offering a glimpse into the golden age of river travel. The combination of live performance, scenic river views, and the vessel's own history makes for an evening rooted in authentic New Orleans culture. For those who wish to make a full evening of it, an optional buffet dinner is available, featuring dishes inspired by local flavours and served on board whilst the entertainment continues. Whether you are marking a special occasion or simply want to experience New Orleans' rich musical heritage from the water, this cruise offers a genuine taste of the city's character.
