The Creole Queen and Natchez riverboats both provide paddlewheel cruises in New Orleans with live music and dining, but differ in the boarding location, capacity, and interior design. The Creole Queen departs from Spanish Plaza and can welcome up to 1,000 passengers, while the Steamboat Natchez departs from Jackson Square, has a museum-like Steam Engine Room, and can accommodate up to 800 guests.
