Depending on demand and private events, the Steamboat NATCHEZ and Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will operate interchangeably until March 2026, when both vessels begin running separate schedules. You’ll still enjoy the same two-hour river journey, complete with traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and beautiful city views. Don’t forget to head up to the top deck for the best lookout point.
