Jump-start your vacation with a tour down the mighty Mississippi in the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen, New Orleans’ luxury riverboat. See the Crescent City from a truly unique point of view! This majestic boat, with its large 20-foot red paddlewheel, beautiful wrought iron trim, and Victorian accents, is sure to make you feel like you’re stepping back in time. The boat offers daily tours of the river, narrated by historians who share exciting stories about New Orleans’ 300-year history.
While aboard, enjoy a lunch buffet of traditional New Orleans food featuring dishes such as red beans and rice, gumbo, and jambalaya—or take advantage of bottomless mimosas on their morning cruises. Take an evening ride on the Dinner Jazz Cruise to feast on classic Creole cuisine and sip libations while listening to lively music, or take a stroll on the promenade deck holding hands with your loved one to soak up the sweet breezes of the Mississippi River and the spectacular lights of the New Orleans skyline.
