Luxury American River Cruising

Experience the nostalgia and elegance of the American Queen Steamboat Company


Luxury River Cruising on American Waters


The authentic paddlewheel boats, the sense of nostalgia, the culturally immersive activities and entertainment, the locally influenced menus-this is what makes the American Queen Steamboat Company truly something special. If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the gems and jewels of America’s rivers and lakes, this is the experience you’ve been looking for!

What sets them apart?


American Queen Steamboat’s all-inclusive, culturally immersive concept and fleet of vessels sets them apart for the seamless experience they provide. They currently have 5 vessels cruising America’s lakes and rivers. While each has it’s own personality, they all share the nostalgic working paddlewheel, beautiful gingerbread details, well-appointed staterooms, and theaters where the culture and history of the river comes alive.

Look at these beautiful vessels! Can you imagine cruising down the Mississippi in this?



What’s included?


American Queen has thought of everything. They want you to have a seamless experience and once you set foot on the boat you don’t need to spend another penny to thoroughly enjoy your vacation.

How should I dress for my cruise?


Leave your formal wear at home! Every American Queen Steamboat itinerary has a country club casual dress code. You can be casual and comfortable while still enjoying a beautiful dinner and after dinner show every evening.

What rivers American Queen sail?


With 35 itineraries on 7 different rivers, there’s a destination for everyone! If you’re interested in blues, gospel, historical homes, the Civil War, or the stories of General Ulysses S. Grant or Mark Twain-there’s a perfect itinerary for you! River itineraries include the Mississippi (both the upper and lower), Snake, Ohio, Illinois, Columbia, Cumberland, and Tennessee Rivers.

Can I customize my experience?


Every guest should consider customizing their cruise experience through Premium Excursions or pre and post stays called “City Stays”.

Premium Excursions give you an opportunity to immerse yourself more deeply into a specific destination or interest. Examples of Premium Excursions may include a swamp tour, southern plantation tour, golf, cooking experience and more. Book these in advance with your travel agent to ensure your spot on these special opportunities.

Another way to customize your experience is to spend more time before and after the cruise in city of embarkation or debarkation. City Stays include accommodations, meals, transportation, and activities.

  First of all, thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful package for both John and I on our special day. The trip was completely completely amazing from start to finish. All the extra details that you provided for us were absolutely perfect. From the minute that we landed to our transportation to the resort  were phenomenal. The minute that we arrived at the resort, we were completely amazed at our surroundings in the fabulous views. The staff at the resort from the concierge, the front desk and housekeeping were absolutely amazing and took care of us and all of our needs. The extra details that they put into our stay were phenomenal. The meals at both restaurants were absolutely fantastic. I think we must’ve tried everything on the menu and definitely did indulge the entire time we were there. This resort was an absolute gem of a place and definitely the staff made us feel extra special all the time. I got to enjoy the spa while I was there and it was amazing. The staff at the spa even came around while we were at the pool, relaxing and offered free mini massages and facials. As far as the wedding- Lorena, the wedding coordinator- did an amazing job and putting together a wonderful photographer, make up artist and hairstylist for myself and our special day. We enjoyed a private dinner on the beach and danced into the evening hours. I definitely would recommend this resort to any of your clients in the future. It was by far the most amazing relaxing experience that we both will definitely want to do again. Thank you so much for everything and it was such an amazing experience working with you.

Very professional

Jessica Riediger arranged my last trip. It was tricky involving three states and three different airlines in ten days. The likelihood of glitches was great. There was a slight delay in my flight leaving from OKC but after that, everything went very smoothly. I had a wonderful trip. Jessica was wonderful in arranging all of the details and helping me to understand the best way to navigate the connections etc. I appreciated her highly professional assistance and highly recommend her to anyone planning travel.

Jessica is the best. She put us in the most incredible vacation spot we could imagine. She took care of everything. And when we had some trouble on the way home she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.
