The largest and most luxurious Passenger vessel on the Upper Thames. The New Orleans revives the stylish tradition of a Mississippi sternwheeler with tall twin smoke stacks and paddle wheel. The New Orleans has two decks - a fully enclosed elegant saloon with stylish cocktail bar, luxuriously furnished in rich button velvet with mahogany inlaid panels and oak beams and an open upper deck for viewing the stunning scenery by day or dancing under the stars at night.
