You will enjoy the same genuine riverboat experience, a relaxed two-hour voyage on the Mississippi, delighting in traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and witnessing all the stunning sights of New Orleans. You’ll also get to discover the newly refurbished riverboat. Visit all four decks – the view from the top is a must-see! You also have the option to upgrade your ticket to include the dinner buffet.
