Totally Loved this Steamboat Natchez
The natchez was awesome, great food, great location.. We uber'd to this location was very easy to find and the staff was just phenomenal. The food was delicious we sat at 7:45 seating while we cruised on the Mississippi River, and even learned some things about Louisiana as we were sailing. Thank you Grayline Tours for such a wonderful time, we will be back!!

My boyfriend and I did the evening jazz cruise and chose not to do the dinner. We boarded early to get a cocktail and were able to find seats undercover and with a great view across the river. Lots of authentic jazz music at the back of the ship and a calmer atmosphere with speakers in the front. The food looked good despite being a buffet. Views range from natural to residential to industrial areas and the pace of travel was slow and enjoyable. Air conditioned dining and bar area are available but we wanted to feel the breezes outside.

Even when we have the summer heat, the evening can be so nice on board the Natchez as the sun descends and the River breezes cool the air.

My friends and I booked the cruise without the dinner option as we planned to eat afterwards. he cruise itself was a nice experience, but being advertised as a jazz cruise, we expected a band performing. I did not see one. The music was piped through speakers (maybe I missed it). The bar and bartenders were great and my friends and I enjoyed the drinks we had. ... read more

We are very glad that it all worked out for you. We could have re-booked another date for you, and apologize if other options were not offered. Because of inclement weather the band may have played inside the dining room that evening. It doesn't happen very often but that might have been the reason. I would like to encourage people to ask about the band schedule while on board as well. Thank you for the nice review.

The Dukes are the oldest traditional band playing. They love the old tunes and enjoy doing some new renditions of old favorites as well.
