VIP Jazz Dinner Cruise with Private Tour and Open Bar Option
Ian_G, Sep 2026
Wow! What an experience!
It's very hard to put into words how amazing this experience was. From the history, to the staff, the jazz band, the hospitality, I could go on! Captain Robbie, what an amazing man, 51 years service and so glad I got to meet him, not only that a private tour from engine room, to stern, to bow with so much knowledge! And not to forget, my man Marlon! Without him there is no VIP! This guy knows how to host! From leading us around the boat, to seating area, to keeping us updated. And just when you think I need a drink, he just shows up! Like magic! He really takes that extra mile and makes the whole evening special. To all the staff behind the scenes, I thank you aswell. Such a magical evening, me and my wife enjoyed every minute

Great Experience!
Our travel guide Ernie was amazing. Having a guide with a lifetime of experience in this Bayou area was beautiful. Yes, we saw alligators, as he know’s the area, and even knows them by name, but he has an understanding and knowledge of this area like no other. My wife and the other couple we traveled with enjoyed this experience and it exceeded our expectations. Thanks Ernie for being a wonderful guide - highly recommend!

Paddlewheeler Creole Queen Jazz Dinner Cruise in New Orleans
Janet_T, Sep 2026
The Creole Queen experience
The steps were a little steep for me but do-able. The food was delicious. It was a perfect night on the river. The rear of the boat had great pictures of the sunset behind New Orleans. The front of the boat has benches to sit and enjoy the breeze and views. It wasn’t too hot or cold. It was very enjoyable and would recommend it to anyone.

Super fun, safe for all ages. There were no bugs. The alligators come right up to the boat! But I think Captain Bobby has them on the payroll. Very interesting stories about the history of the area

Fantastic River Cruise

New Orleans 75-Minute Riverboat Sightseeing Cruise
Jack_B, Sep 2026
Fantastic River Cruise
This was a great experience. We were originally booked on the shorter cruise, but it was cancelled, and we were upgraded to the longer one for no extra charge. It rained off and on quite heavily during the cruise, but that is to be expected this time of year in New Orleans. The first half of the trip was narrated by the captain, and the second half was filled with live jazz music. Overall, the entire cruise was amazing and well worth the price.

Excellent service
I personally enjoyed the VIP service due to my disability and being able to safely get on the ship in a timely manner without the crowd, our small group felt special and well taken care of.
