Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS - Official Site

We had a great lunch experience on the steamboat today. The food was good and the atmosphere made the ride even more enjoyable, but the real highlight of our meal was our server, Iris B. Iris was absolutely fantastic… very attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. She made us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the entire meal. The food was good, but Iris was even better! We would be more than happy to have her as our server again on a future visit.

Brought my family for a afternoon cruise last week and it was wonderful! The lunch was outstanding and the dining room staff was friendly and efficient. My kids are picky eaters but they loved the red beans and catfish. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with a drink from the bar up on the top deck. Captain Steve does a great job with the narration. It’s a great way to learn more about the river and the city!

Wonderful experience! Great cocktails and views, but the JAZZ from Duke Heitger & the Steamboat Stompers really makes the experience! This was our second visit on the boat, and we’ll keep coming as long as Duke’s playing. He knows all the classics, and does a wonderful version of Bix Beiderbecke’s "I’m Coming Virginia"! The boat itself is pretty magnificent. I believe it’s bigger than the NATCHEZ, And I know it’s bigger than the Creole Queen. Great Experience!

The entire trip was fabulous. We had lunch on-board and enjoyed jambalaya, fried catfish, and an incredible bread pudding. The dining staff were terrific especially our server Iris! I would recommend this steamboat ride to everyone and ask for Iris if you have lunch.

Jaylon was an amazing server—friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. I highly recommend this tour! The food was absolutely delicious (seriously, to die for), and the views were stunning from start to finish. Everything was well organized, relaxing, and worth every penny. I would definitely do this again and recommend it to anyone looking for great food and beautiful scenery!

Riverboat cruise was outstanding!!! Very informative and the music was terrific. We got the lunch and it was fabulous. Note to those of you thinking about going. SIT DOWN! We had the rudest couple who stood right in front of us for the first part of the cruise. So, if you are outside, please be respectful of those around you.

Beautiful views for an evening boat ride. Loved exploring all the levels, everyone was so helpful and friendly. Marlon helped take some great pictures of us with the amazing view of the bridge LED lights. Not enough seating inside for a cold evening, but if you dressed warm as you should have for an evening ride in winter, then finding a quiet bench outside was easy. We enjoyed the view from the outdoor seating. Loved seeing the paddle wheels wish there had been a bench here so we could have taken in the view from there.
