"For a city that owes its life to the river, Mississippi experiences can be few and far between. That’s why a ride on the Steamboat Natchez isn’t just for tourists. A throwback to the days when steamboats cruised for commerce and pleasure, the Natchez connects locals and visitors to the working river. Skip the lunch and dinner cruises, the food is nothing special. Instead, sign on for live jazz and be sure to order one or three of what might just be one of the best Bloody Marys in town." - Beth D'Addono
