Good to know

Shirts and shoes are required for all cruises. Casual attire is perfectly fine, but for the Dinner Jazz Cruise, we suggest dressing “dressy casual.” Consider swapping jeans for dress pants, a skirt, or a blouse. Men can elevate their look with a collared shirt—either button-down or polo.
Smoking is strictly prohibited throughout the vessel, including all indoor spaces and outdoor decks.
This experience is fully accessible for wheelchair and stroller users.
Guide dogs are also welcome on board.
Until March 2026, either the Steamboat NATCHEZ or Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS may host your cruise, depending on operational schedules and private charter arrangements. Either way, this two-hour cruise includes live jazz, craft drinks, and views of New Orleans best seen from the top deck.
Boarding begins at least 30 minutes before departure. We recommend arriving early to ensure a smooth start to your cruise.
