Steamboat NATCHEZ
Full Boat Charter 100 - 1,200 Guests
Take a river excursion into the heart of the signature culture and lifestyle of New Orleans and Louisiana as you step aboard the Steamboat NATCHEZ. Share our heritage and hospitality as you cruise up and down the mighty Mississippi River. The sounds of jazz will fill the air as our cocktail waitresses serve libations from the bars. On board you will enjoy wonderful New Orleans cuisine prepared on board by our chef and his staff and served by our staff of food service professionals.
She’s the ninth steamer to bear the name NATCHEZ. It was her predecessor, NATCHEZ II, that raced the ROBERT E. LEE in the most famous steamboat race of all time. Even today, our NATCHEZ is proudly the undisputed champion of the Mississippi, never having been beaten - the best of her time.
Her powerful antique steam engines were built in 1925 and are still on view today from our engine room. Her copper bell, inlaid with 250 silver dollar coins to produce a purer tone, once graced the SS JD Ayres. Her 32-note steam calliope was custom-crafted and modeled especially for the NATCHEZ. An evening on the NATCHEZ is truly an evening of excitement. For all its history and romance, a cruise on the NATCHEZ is fun and it is all yours!
