Our guide to Sunday Jazz Brunch Cruise on the City of New Orleans
After boarding the historic vessel to the delightful tunes of the Steamboat Stompers, this relaxing two-hour cruise will take you from the heart of the French Quarter back to when cotton was king and life was slow and graceful as the current on the Mississippi.
Experience the sights and sounds of river life that enchanted characters of history and literature - like Mark Twain's Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer - and see the bustling activity of America's second-largest port!
As well as the scenery, there is live narration and a traditional live jazz by some of the most talented musicians of the genre - The Steamboat Stompers. They will keep you entertained along the way, so all you have to do is sit back and soak up the unique atmosphere.
On top of all this , you will also enjoy a sumptuous buffet brunch whilst on board. Brunch is a staple in New Orleans life – a time to enjoy food, music, and refreshing beverages with friends and family.
