Befitting a company that celebrates the American experience, the American Queen
employs an affable, all-American crew that is eager to please. Few
things are nicer than mint juleps on deck on a glorious summer afternoon
on the Ohio River or morning coffee in the grand J.M. White Dining
Room as you steam into St. Paul. With a homeport of Memphis, the
American Queen carries with her the same devotion to exceptional dining
and entertainment, including Dixieland Jazz and gracious southern charm
and hospitality. Inspired by the greatest steamboats of the 19th Century, the American Queen
offers an opulent two-level Grand Saloon, an elegant two-deck high
Dining Room, staterooms and suites appointed with period furnishings and
antique touches, many with their own private veranda and all with the
modern amenities today’s travelers expect. Most notably, the American Queen
carries only 436 guests, surrounding them in an atmosphere befitting a
fine antebellum mansion complete with rich paneling, priceless antiques,
Tiffany glass and public rooms that are warm and welcoming.
As
a tribute to this historic steamboat and following in the footsteps of
its fabled predecessor, the company is being renamed in honor of its
iconic flagship. Effective July 1, the company will be renamed the
American Queen Steamboat Company.
“Just as the Greene family renamed their operation to honor the historic Delta Queen, we are embracing the legacy of the American Queen
and renaming the Company in honor of her. Because of her iconic
status, she has quickly become the brand in the eyes of our guests and
travel agent partners,” stated Jeffrey D. Krida, the company’s chief
executive officer.
A
variety of voyage lengths, ranging from four nights to twelve nights,
and fares beginning at $1,095 per guest, offers exceptional value and
convenience, with little or no flying required.
