Due to COVID-19 restrictions in New Orleans, the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen's Annual Papa Noel Cruise will NOT take place in 2020. This year, please consider venturing out to our sister company, Jean Lafitte Swamp Tours, for an outdoor Pirates & Princesses Holiday Tea at the Swamp. Click here for more information!

Come pass a good time aboard the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen with Papa Noel, Mrs. Noel, Gaston the Gator and other jolly Cajun characters during this enchanting family festivity. Enjoy a classic holiday tea with tempting treats, storytelling, face painting, magic tricks, children’s activities, and merriment while cruising the mighty Mississippi. Come hold a real live alligator and, as lagniappe, each child gets a special present. Seating is limited, so make your reservations early!
