Paddlewheeler Creole Queen Cruise

Hop aboard the Creole Queen and take a journey through time to the olden days of New Orleans. You'll discover 300 years of New Orleans history as you pass the French Quarter, the Port of New Orleans and Jean Lafitte National Park. As you come across famous landmarks and historic areas of the city, your onboard guide will detail the founding of present-day New Orleans by the LeMoyne brothers, the expansion of the city into the French Quarter, and the Louisiana Purchase. When you get to the historic Chalmette Battlefield, you’ll dock and disembark for some on-foot exploration. On an hour-long guided tour led by National Park Rangers, you’ll learn more about the battlefield, the critical Battle of New Orleans, and why New Orleans history is so important for Louisiana and the US as a whole.
