When you’re thinking about taking a boat tour in Louisiana, you’re probably thinking about swamp tours. After all, it is one of the most popular things to do in Louisiana. If you find yourself in the Crescent City, I encourage you to carve out an evening and spend it on board this unique boat on the Mighty Mississippi. It’s the perfect date night idea, but heck, even the whole family would love this two-hour tour. Let’s check it out:
The 880-passenger Paddlewheeler Creole Queen is an unmistakable sight along the Mississippi River in downtown New Orleans.
The buffet is always changing, but you can bet you'll find all the best Cajun and Creole favorites, plus a few southern staples. One thing that's a guarantee is the bread pudding. It's iconic and you've got to try a bite.
After your meal, head up to the top deck to enjoy even more beautiful city views.
The Creole Queen offers a few different types of tours, and if you're looking for a tour that includes more narration and history lessons, this day cruise might be more up your alley.
Check out the sunset tour on Viator to learn more and reserve your spot. Once you’re back on solid ground, continue the celebration at one of the most unique bars in New Orleans. Or, if you want to lean into the haunted side of the city, this haunted bar in New Orleans is a fabulous place to grab a drink.
