American Queen Steamboat Company
CRUISING
American Empress
Proudly serving as the largest overnight riverboat
west of the Mississippi River, the American
Empress offers classic elegance on a grand scale.
Once onboard you’ll quickly discover that there
is far more to this ship than her signature red
paddlewheel. Boasting a vast collection of some
of the finest historical artefacts and artwork of
the Native Alaska, Russian and Gold Rush eras, the
corridors of the American Empress hold nearly as
much beauty and intrigue as the dramatic scenery
unfolding on the riverbanks outside. These river
cruises incite moments of sheer perfection;
stunning backdrops combining with exceptional
dining venues and quirky décor.
American Duchess
Becoming the first all-suite paddlewheeler in
the USA, the newest ship in the fleet is one of
a kind. American Duchess is a floating, intimate
masterpiece, carrying up to 166 guests through
America’s heartlands. Featuring open seating in
a choice of two restaurants; The Grand Dining
Room and The Grill Room, exciting evening
entertainment and shore excursions at every port,
American Duchess offers everything you would
expect from an upscale riverboat experience.
The American Queen Steamboat
Company offers a unique cruising
experience aboard a choice of three
paddlewheel steamboats; American
Queen which sails the majestic
Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee
Rivers, American Empress which
traverses the Columbia and Snake
Rivers in the Pacific Northwest and
the brand new American Duchess,
complementing the American Queen
on the mighty Mississippi.
Onboard Experience
As opulent as the paddlewheeler steamboats
appear, once onboard you’ll find a relaxed, warm
and welcoming atmosphere and a highly trained
crew. An elegant selection of staterooms offers
the upmost in comfort, with rich furnishings
and authentic antebellum décor. Many
accommodations aboard American Queen, and
all aboard the American Empress and American
Duchess feature beautiful sweeping river views
from the picture windows or verandas. When it
comes to dining, there is a wonderful array of
culinary experiences. Award-winning chefs have
carefully selected the best seasonal ingredients
to re-create traditional recipes and invent new
innovative creations.
American Queen
Fully refreshed, whilst remaining sympathetic to
the ship’s heritage, today’s modern amenities
complement the opulence and décor you would
expect from the American Victorian era. As one of
the largest and most elegant steamboats ever
built, stepping aboard the American Queen is like
walking into the warm and inviting ambience of an
antebellum mansion. Glistening woodwork, fresh
flowers and antiques adorn the interior spaces,
and the fabulous service and entertainment
perfectly capture the spirit of bygone era.
