Sailing with Santa Cruise to Benefit Local Families in Need

New Orleans, LA — The New Orleans Steamboat Company will again be hosting their annual Sailing with Santa Cruise on Saturday, November 26, 2022.  The cruise will accept new, unopened toys to be donated to the New Orleans Family Justice Center. The Center provides a wide range of services to survivors of domestic abuse, assault, trafficking and more. The passengers’ donated gifts promise a nicer Christmas for the children.

Everyone is asked to make a reservation though a link of on our website. Tickets are $1.00 per person without lunch and $15.00 per person with a lunch buffet.  All participants, regardless of age, must bring a new, unwrapped item to be gifted to the Center’s children (ages: infant to 17 years) in order to board the cruise. We encourage participants to make this an item to make a child’s Christmas special!

Santa Claus will be greeting our passengers and sailing down the Mississippi River with them. In addition, there will be a balloon elf and a chance to write a letter to Santa and put it in his mailbox. (Buffet lunch and a snack bar will be available for optional purchase)

COVID19 Safety & Health Protocols

New Orleans remains open for you to visit!  In fact, most businesses continue to operate at 100% capacity both indoors and outdoors while upholding our citywide Modified Phase Three Plan.  We  believe that safety is a top priority for locals and visitors alike.  Today, March 21, Mayor Cantrell lifted the vaccination requirement for entering indoor venues.  The mask mandate was lifted recently as well.

House Float Honors the Steamboat NATCHEZ!  Last year without Mardi Gras Parades, local artists set out to decorate homes as stationary "floats".  They were all over town, themes, types of houses – it didn't matter how, but it brought joy to so many.  This year a wonderful Bayou St. John home honors the Steamboat Natchez with so many details.  A Mardi Gras wish come true!
