There's no better place or time to contemplate the New Orleans' skyline than from aboard a good old-fashioned steamboat. And if the breathtaking views of the city's skyline aren't enough to satisfy your senses, you have the option to book the cruise with a casual buffet-style dinner. Don't think the highlights of this trip are limited to the awe-inspiring vantage point or the delicious meal. Aboard the Natchez Steamboat, you're also invited to have a nosey around the ship's engine room. Inside this quaint space, redesigned to look like a museum, you'll find all sorts of historical artefacts that have many an interesting story behind them. Throughout the voyage, you can enjoy a jiggle to live jazz tunes performed by the world-renowned Dukes of Dixieland. New Orleans is famous for being the city of jazz, so the Dukes' jingles provide the playlist.
