Experience the Magic of a New Orleans Dinner Cruise

There is no better way to soak in the spirit of the Crescent City than from the deck of a historic riverboat. As the sun sets over the French Quarter, the city lights begin to sparkle, and the soulful sounds of live jazz fill the air. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening under the stars or a festive “Seasonal Party Package” with friends, our curated selection of cruises offers the perfect blend of Southern hospitality and scenic views.

Choose from our popular 6:00 pm or 7:45 pm dinner seatings to enjoy a buffet of local favorites, or opt for a “Sightseeing Only” ticket to simply enjoy the breeze and the music. From Sunday Brunches to midday Jazz Lunch cruises, we provide the easiest way to secure your spot on the water. Don’t leave your NOLA experience to chance—book your voyage today and let the river carry your worries away!

After stepping back in time, end your day with an exhilarating airboat tour, gliding through Louisiana’s scenic swamps. Spot alligators, egrets, and other wildlife as you learn about life in the bayou from a local captain. This combination of history and adventure makes for an unforgettable New Orleans experience!
