Savor the beauty and romance of New Orleans from the decks of the authentic sternwheel Steamboat NATCHEZ. It is a journey back in time when life was slow and the Mississippi River was the heartbeat of America. Come aboard to the unique sounds of the steam calliope, the historic method of calling townspeople to the riverfront. A two-hour cruise from the heart of the French Quarter provides a narrated journey of life along the riverbanks, and the international flavor of the ships in the harbor today. Saunter from deck to deck to learn the workings of one of the six remaining inland steamboats in country, and all of this to the tunes of a live jazz band. Call locally, (504) 586-8777 or toll free (800) 233-2628.
