Stop At: Steamboat NATCHEZ, 400 Toulouse St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA

Head to Toulouse Street in the French Quarter at your selected time for your 2-hour Sunday brunch cruise. Board the Steamboat NATCHEZ, an authentic paddle-wheel steamboat that will take you on an old-time ride along the Mississippi River. This steam-powered vessel has everything from a museum-quality engine room to a megaphone to call the ship's orders.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Mississippi River, LA

As you steam ahead on the Mississippi River, enjoy marvelous views of New Orleans’ skyline while being treated to live music performed by a jazz trio. There is also live narration on board.

Inside the cabin or on the outside decks, sit down to a delectable Louisiana-style buffet brunch. Savor dishes such as egg frittatas, Creole shrimp, cheese grist, bread pudding and fresh fruit (see full menu below), all tasty Louisiana favorites! Drinks including mimosas, punch and Bloody Marys are available for purchase.

Your brunch cruise ends back at the French Quarter with plenty of time to continue your New Orleans sightseeing on land.

A family and friends outing,,,,enjoyable but not so special to go again,,,,ticket rates, retrieval and boarding were very smooth,,,,food is so closely monitored as to be annoying,,,no air conditioning except at the bar, so if you aren’t at the bar it’s HOT,,,,,

I’m from Iowa and live on the Mississippi. The cruise wasn’t spectacular but it was fun, relaxing, and informative. The food was ok. I enjoyed myself and if I go back to The Big Easy next year, I’d probably do it again.

Food was amazing. Boarding and disembarking was very orderly and moved quickly. Dining room very clean and looked re-done. The brunch was out of this world. I'd like the recipe for your shrimp and grits . The gentleman speaking the tour was excellent. Loved " the steamboat stompers" just the kind of music I was looking for in NOLA

Definitely not worth the money. It was a total tourist trap. The food was just so so. If you don’t get there early enough you wont have a seat with a view. We sat in the center of the boat and listened to the narration without the view. The band was pretty good, but didn’t play for very long at all.

Had a nice time. Staff was nice, food was limited but was pretty good (could've been better), drinks were good. The organ was way off key and kind of annoying. I wish the commentary would've been more in depth as I would've like to have learned more about what I was seeing. Expected more for the price

The Natchez is a beautiful boat with a lot of history on it! The audio tour of the Mississippi River was really fascinating and you will learn a lot. However, definitely skip the brunch on this. The food is sub-par and for what you pay, you can get a nice brunch elsewhere in New Orleans. I would recommend the jazz cruise by itself. The jazz band was great!

It was a great experience. They have live band. They have buffet. They have Southern Specialty food like bread pudding, banana foster with ice cream and grits. They have someone explained some of the history about New Orleans on the river.
