New Orleans’ only Historic River Cruise! Focusing on 300 years of New Orleans history, this cruise offered daily is narrated by a local historian who takes guests on a journey through the story of the city as we sail downriver to the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and the historic Chalmette Battlefield. Highlights of the tour include the founding of the city by the LeMoyne brothers, the expansion of the city into the “French Quarters” of the Treme and Marigny, the Louisiana Purchase, and the critical Battle of New Orleans. A one-hour shore excursion at the battlefield features a guided tour and talk by National Park Rangers.

Enjoy bottomless mimosas on our Battlefield Cruise for an additional $25!

Note: Due to limited capacity, refund requests made less than 24 hours prior to the cruise departure will NOT be considered. This includes missing the cruise for any reason. However, your ticket is transferable and valid for up to one year.

The Creole Queen has a weight-restricted mechanical lift and wheelchair-compatible accessibility. There are many ways to experience Chalmette Battlefield. The full accessible way to visit the park is by vehicle. If you visit the park via the Creole Queen, please be aware that because of variable levels of the Mississippi River and river levee itself we are working on longer-term solutions for accessibility. The park programs are accessible, either via a virtual tour with closed captioning shown on the Creole Queen, or in-person on park grounds. The park also has audio description devices available for our visitor center exhibits, and a braille version of our park’s Unigrid brochure. If you have special needs for your visit please contact us via email so we can accommodate accordingly.
