T-4: Historic Riverboat Cruise
Location: Creole Queen Paddlewheeler

Focusing on 300 years of New Orleans history, this cruise is narrated by a local historian who takes guests on a journey through the story of the city as you sail downriver to the Jean Lafitte Naitonal Historical Park and the historic Chalmette Battlefield.  Highlights of the tour include the founding of the city by the LeMoyne brothers, the expansion of the city into the "French Quarters" of the Treme and Marigny, the Louisiana Purchase, the critical Battle of New Orleans.  A one-hour shore excursion at the battlefield features a guided tour and talk by National Park Rangers.
