Tonight, simplified
Live music, an evening river cruise, a ghost or spirits walk, and a cocktail-focused outing are common evening formats. The best choice depends on your group, start time, walking tolerance, and how late you want to stay out.
Frenchmen Street can be a useful live-music anchor for an evening, but venue schedules and cover policies change. Check current event and venue details before building the rest of your night around a specific performance.
Departure times vary by cruise, date, and operating schedule. Use the current operator booking path for the specific cruise to confirm tonight's departure time, boarding instructions, pricing, and availability.
