The Historical Lunch Cruise – Monday – Friday  Boarding 10am or 2pm

When you come aboard our lunch cruise you’ll get to experience New Orleans’ only Tricentennial River Cruise! Focusing on the 300 years of New Orleans’ history, this cruise 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 include the founding of the city by the LeMoyne brothers, the expansion of the city into the French Quarters of Treme and Marigny, the Louisiana Purchase and the critical Battle of New Orleans. A one-hour excursion at the battlefield features a guided tour and talk by National Park Rangers.

The Dinner Cruise – Every Night – Boarding 6:15 to 6:45pm

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
