Creole Queen

 nocreole

By Angela Ash

 

Jazz music is playing,the smell of jambalaya is in the air, and the breeze off the Mississippi is in your hair. Are you in a special part of paradise, specially reserved for those who would rather be in New Orleans?  No... you have merely boarded the Creole Queen!

The Dinner Jazz Cruise is the perfect way to compliment any visit to New Orleans.  This gorgeous Paddlewheeler sails down the Mississippi River, offering up a delicious Creole buffet, complete with gumbo, baked chicken, beef brisket, and jambalaya. And would any feast be complete without bread pudding? 

The decor of this unbelievable vessel is reminiscent of a time long gone, when a leisurely drift down the river was the norm.  And the lovely promenade on the top deck is the most wonderful place to enjoy a drink, while taking in the panoramic views of the city. 

And then there is the music.  This Jazz band is superb!  Often even taking requests, they literally fill the night with music, with couples swaying to the sound. 

When you find yourself in New Orleans, make sure to also find yourself aboard the Creole Queen!
