American Queen Voyages
To really see North America, to understand the land and its
people, you need to explore not only the iconic cities, but the pathways
between. American Queen Voyages encourages guests to slow down and meander the
waterways, to explore an America, you thought you knew, in an entirely
different way.
American Queen Voyages embodies the story of America’s fabled
rivers in our iconic red paddle wheelers. Over the past 10 years, our flagship
riverboat, American Queen, has traversed the waterways throughout the Deep
South and the Heartland where she is joined by American Countess. American Empress calls the Columbia and
Snake rivers of the Pacific Northwest her home.
Embark on a journey through the hidden corners of North America,
where a deeper discovery of the continent awaits. Step into a Mark Twain story
on the mighty Mississippi River, where the sights, sounds, and smells of New
Orleans serve as a warm welcome. Explore the rugged coasts of Alaska as
naturalists lead the way. Let your curiosity guide you through the
history, traditions, and cultures of North America. On every journey discovery runs deep.
River: Inspired by the
great steamboats of the 19th century, our four vintage-style paddle-wheelers
relive the experiences of a previous generation on a range of cruises to the
historic Deep South or Pacific North-West, with all the modern, luxurious
amenities that today’s travellers expect. Climb aboard an iconic steamboat and
explore a slice of American history & nature on our Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland,
Tennessee, Columbia, and Snake River cruises. American Queen Voyages offers the
most inclusive river cruise experience in North America with pre-cruise hotel
stays, unlimited drinks, shore excursions in each port, gratuities, inclusive Wi-Fi
