If you’ve ever spent some time in New Orleans, then you’ve probably seen this ship. But the Creole Queen is so much more than just a tourist attraction. With daily cruises and special holiday events, you really should check it out for your next event, or even just a unique way to spend the day.

The Creole Queen is an authentic paddlewheeler that first took her maiden voyage in 1983.

She's 190 feet long and 40 feet wide, and quite the beauty!
Powered by a 24-foot paddlewheel and a fuel efficient diesel-electric system, the Creole Queen seamlessly blends old traditions with modern technology.

The wrought iron trims on the outer deck and all the other small details make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, yet the A/C and other modern features will make you feel right at home.
The interior design is absolutely stunning, too.

Luxurious Victorian style draperies, parquet dance floors, and wooden accents (made with Louisiana Cypress) all add to the elegant feel of this impressive ship.
This would be perfect for your next event.

You can reserve the entire deck, just one room, or the entire charter depending on your needs. With a capacity of 800 passengers, no event is too big or too small.
