Filled up on bread pudding, a dessert I strongly associate with NOLA. Clean bathrooms, great ambience and lighting. Loved looking out of the Kings Room to see the paddle wheel working!

The cruise lasts 2 hours, with history and information shared by the guide for 1 hour of the tour and live jazz music played in the dining area (and over the PA) for the other hour. I very much enjoyed checking out the ship as well as the information they shared, although I wish they had shared more history / information about the city. It's possible they did share more at the end of the cruise, but we were seated at that time on the lower level thinking we were approach the dock when the ship went beyond to the next bridge and back and could not hear the PA.

It did not disappoint! The views were absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere on the boat is something you really can't get anywhere else. I invited a family to sit with me during the live music, and we ended up having such a fun time together. They even requested the Happy Birthday song for me, which made the evening extra special. Yes, it's definitely a tourist attraction, but it's also relaxing, educational, and full of New Orleans charm. The river breeze, the jazz, the history, and the overall vibe make it worth every minute. Whether you're here for the first time or coming back like I did, it's a great experience -- highly recommend!

There is a great covered area to the boat if you don't want to sit in the sun. Whenever the water gets choppy, Vegas will drive the boat further out. Since they only do one cruise a day, you don't feel rushed and can enjoy exactly the day you want. And his dogs are so cute and quiet and well behaved! New Orleans is a fantastic city, but sometimes it's nice to be able to take a step away with some friends and enjoy the water. *Special Note: Apple Maps does not know where this address is, but Google maps does

My partner and I have some experience paddling and wanted plenty of time to see wildlife and get deep in the swamp for the best scenery, and for us the extended tour was the right choice! I'd recommend it to visitors to New Orleans who love nature, the outdoors, and/or getting a fun and unique workout in during vacation. We were on the water for about 4 hours. Sunscreen, sunglasses, shoes you don't mind getting wet, and PLENTY of water are a must! There are stops at a truck stop right before and after for the bathroom and buying any drinks/snacks, plus a stop on dry land during the tour. Our guide Nick was clearly dedicated to both paddling and nature even outside of work, and our tour felt less like a scripted performance as some tours can be and more like a buddy was showing and telling you things he was passionate about. We saw several small alligators, barred owls, hawks, turtles, and water birds. It was unseasonably warm so the reptiles were a treat to see, and it was awesome getting to see owls out in daylight which I'd never be able to pick out myself. Bring binoculars if you have them! My only small complaint, which has nothing to do with the tour itself: the AI-generated content on the company's Instagram page is kind of weird. Photos and videos from actual tours would be more honest and enticing!

They had a heavy hors d'oeuvre reception before the music started, which was good. Once we started to pull away from the dock, the program with the opera singers kicked off, to hear live music sung on the river boat by professionals was breathtaking. Loving that man of mine and "Old Man River" sung by the opera baritone, brought the house down. What made the musical even better was the narration before each piece? The narrator, provided context and insight to the time period when the musical was written and to the political and historic morays and values people along the Mississippi would've had in that era. After the program from the opera singers, a jazz band started up on the top deck. Riding down the Mississippi listening to jazz was fantastically fun. What I do it again absolutely. If you get a chance consider taking an evening, river cruise with a jazz group on one of the river boats...... you won't be disappointed.
