Full description

Step back into the glamour and romance of the riverboat era with a cruise on the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen boat. On this river cruise, you will experience the vibrant and lively jazz notes of the amazing Muddy Mississippi Band. There will be some time to dance to the music in the gorgeous dining hall. 

Add the optional Creole-style brunch to complement the experience.
