Steamboatin' on the great Mississippi River is a lot of fun - the paddlewheel boat is beautiful! There is nightly showboat entertainment and dining is an affair to remember! Step back into another era and experience a part of America's heartland from the river while visiting new cities and towns. The crew is all American and they are there to see that you have a wonderful voyage. A river historian gives daily lectures; there's complimentary wine and beer with dinner, nightly dancing to swing, big band and Dixieland jazz. Your stateroom will be beautiful. Enjoy a pre-cruise night in New Orleans with dinner at a local restaurant and a guided city tour before boarding the paddleboat next day. Reservations for this great experience should be made as soon as possible to guarantee category of your choice.
