All three cruises feature live jazz music, and there is no better place to for great views of the city and surrounding parishes.

Even if you don't opt for brunch or dinner, adults can order alcoholic beverages, including the boat's fantastic Mint Juleps and Jazz Punch. And don't worry, there's sweet iced tea for the kids.
