I had such a great time on the Queen Creole! The whole experience was fun from start to finish, and the music was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere, the views, and the energy on board made it a memorable experience. If you're visiting New Orleans and want something enjoyable and lively, I definitely recommend taking this cruise!

About Creole Queen

With its maiden voyage held a mere 30 years ago, the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen seems to break the rules of time. From its outside, the vessel looks straight out of the 1800s. A giant, 24-foot paddle wheel propels the boat up and down the Mississippi River, and its soft lighting, wrought-iron trim, and Victorian-style draperies call to mind a bygone era. Look past those features, however, and you find modern equipment. Air conditioning and heating keep things comfortable, while a fuel-efficient, diesel-electric engine would make a steam-powered vessel scream like a tea kettle with envy.

Once that engine churns to life, the paddle wheeler can take more than 800 passengers at a time on two types of tours. A Creole buffet and live music take over the interior dining rooms during the Dinner Jazz Cruise. The Chalmette Battlefield River Cruise, on the other hand, focuses on history, with the captain spinning tails of local landmarks and key events, and the passengers disembarking to explore the historic site of the 1815 Battle of New Orleans.

We got a great deal, and it was all-around fun! The band played traditional jazz songs that we all liked, and they sounded great. The food was good. We brought our 13yo and 14yo, picky eaters, and they both enjoyed it. The cruise itself was after dark, but we enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights and being on the water. Everyone agreed this was a good idea.

It was a cool experience for a 1st time visitor. Bonus. We stopped at the battlefield of New Orleans 1812 for an hour to get off and visit the battlefield and museum. Wasn't on the ticket description so that was a nice surprise. The tour guide narrator was interesting with good history of the area and added humor.
