New Orleans Jazz Cruise

When night falls, the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen rises to the occasion. Step back into the glamour of the riverboat era and cruise with us into the night where the sleepless activity of America's busiest port buzzes! Experience the sounds of Paddlewheeler Creole Queen’s trio of New Orleans' BEST Jazz Bands while you enjoy your favorite cocktail and dancing. Soak in the sweet Mississippi River breezes on our promenade deck as the city skyline slips by under a canopy of stars. This Jazz cruise is pure New Orleans, pure pleasure!

If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience, choose the dinner option to experience a lavish Creole Buffet in our elegantly appointed dining room. 

 The Creole Queen features outer decks with authentically patterned wrought iron trims inviting guests to stroll back in time as they settle into the mood of a bygone era. The interiors are richly appointed with plush Victorian style draperies, soft period lighting, wooden parquet dance floors, and Louisiana Cypress bars accented with brass railing for a warm and welcoming setting.
