The New Orleans Steamboat Company is no newcomer to the Mississippi River or American's steamboat heritage. Our parent company has been operating steamboats longer than any company in the world. In fact, we've been part of the history of steam transport since 1817, just five years after the first steamboat docked in New Orleans. We're now in our fourth decade of life on the Mississippi. We've given literally millions of people the experience of one of our country's oldest and richest traditions.
