New Year's Eve Dinner Jazz Cruise

Step back into the glamour and romance of the riverboat era with a special New Year's Eve nighttime cruise aboard the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen! Experience the lively sounds of traditional New Orleans music while indulging in a lavish Creole Buffet in our elegantly appointed dining room. After dinner—and perhaps a little dancing—savor a classic New Orleans cocktail as you take in the sweet Mississippi River breezes on our promenade deck.

The Creole Queen has a weight-restricted mechanical lift and wheelchair-compatible accessibility. Weight limit for passenger and chair is 450 pounds.
