Lower Mississippi River Cruises

Cruise down the Mississippi Delta on the river’s most authentic paddlewheelers. American Queen Steamboat Company's Lower Mississippi river cruises highlight Civil War battlefields, Memphis blues, New Orleans jazz, irresistible southern cooking and an exclusive call at Nottoway Plantation—the South's largest existing antebellum mansion.

Upper Mississippi River Cruises

​Cruise along the Upper Mississippi and witness the natural splendor as dramatic riverbanks and bluffs of this glacial valley come alive. Relax on the veranda as you watch deer sip water from fluvial terraces, or behold bald eagles swoop into the wake of the paddlewheel all from the comfort of our luxury vessels. Much like Mark Twain would have experienced on his many trips along the river, you’ll be captivated by the people you meet, cultures you discover and bounty that awaits.

Ohio & Tennessee River Cruises

​In America’s heartland, nature unfolds the beauty of each season as you peacefully drift past rolling meadows, charming farms, rustic railroad bridges and towering bluffs along the Ohio and Tennessee rivers. Friendly locals on shore greet American Queen's elegant craft like cherished friends as they cruise by. Coursing nearly 1,000 miles, the Ohio River forged through the surrounding valley and opened the West to early explorers and pioneers. Feel the same sense of wonder and possibility that fueled their courageous journeys.

Columbia & Snake River Cruises

Embrace dramatic scenery and relive the daring exploits of frontiersmen and adventurers aboard a luxury vessel on American Queen's Columbia and Snake River cruises. Take time to linger on the decks of the paddlewheeler as you cruise through the Columbia River Gorge. It is here that history thrives in the parade of a quiet land, uplifted by the rocky cliffs and ripened trees that stretch from the ground below. The Columbia and Snake Rivers are flowing passageways to rare ventures. Soothing waterways lead to wine country, and allow the ever-moving world around you transform into a vessel of tranquility and peace – ripe for adventuring.
