Steamboat Cruise with Live Music
Steamboat Cruise Details
At the time of your choice, we'll meet on Toulouse Street and walk to the port of New Orleans. There, we'll board a traditional steamboat for a cruise along the famous Mississippi River. Can you think of anything more iconic to do in this charming Louisiana city?
Over the course of 2.5 hours, we'll savor one-of-a-kind views of the Mississippi River as we hear about the history of New Orleans and the Mississippi River. In addition, on one section of the ride, we'll be treated to live jazz music. Without a doubt, it will be a most magical cruise.
During the cruise, we'll witness the bustling activity of the 2nd-largest port in the United States. Of course, we'll also learn interesting facts about different historical figures and literature that are central to the legends of the Mississippi, such as Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.
Finally, we'll return to the port, where this New Orleans cruise comes to an end.
