Steamboat Natchez Jazz Brunch Cruise in New Orleans

Board the historic riverboat at a convenient dock near the French Quarter, and leave the bustling city streets behind as the ship paddles onto the “Mighty” Mississippi. Stroll the decks for fantastic views, and visit the museum-quality engine room for a closer look at the ship’s antique machinery. A live jazz trio keeps the mood upbeat.

Head to the dining cabin for a tableside brunch loaded with savory Southern classics, such as sausage gumbo, biscuits and gravy, shrimp and grits, and scrambled eggs. Indulge in bananas Foster or bread pudding for dessert, and order a bloody mary, mimosa, or other drink from the cash bar. If you have other dining plans, a cruise-only option is also available.

• Steam down the Mississippi on one of the last surviving paddle-wheel ships
• Hearty tableside brunch includes a variety of Southern-style classics
• Live jazz trio adds to the vintage atmosphere

The Steamboat NATCHEZ is taking some time off, but her sister vessel will be taking her place. You’ll get the same classic New Orleans experience and ride on one of the last authentic paddle-wheel ships with a Sunday brunch cruise. Get a new perspective on the city skyline as you glide down the Mississippi, and check out vintage features. Dig into a delicious tableside brunch featuring Louisiana favorites, such as cheese grits and beignets, while a jazz trio provides a lively soundtrack.
