The Delta Queen Steamboat Company's New Orleans & Riverboat Adventure Week lets vacationers combine a three- or four-night riverboat cruise with a stay in New Orleans.

The 436-passenger American Queen departs New Orleans every Monday for a four-night cruise and every Friday for a three-night cruise along the lower Mississippi River offering stops at historic sites such as Oak Alley Plantation, Baton Rouge, and historic Natchez.

During the cruise, passengers will enjoy New Orleans-inspired entertainment such as Cajun music, Dixieland Jazz, signature menus and a Mardi Gras ball.

The seven-night land-riverboat New Orleans cruise package pricing starts at $995 per person. Both the three- and four-night riverboat cruises may be purchased as a cruise-only vacation.
