The American Queen boat is considered the largest steamboat that was ever built, a gracious as well as elegant triumph of United States ingenuity. Although the ship is filled with modern amenities and features, her cabins will display all the opulence of the United States Victorian era.

Fall Colors Vacations salute nature`s rich palette of reds, golds or oranges as your boat will sail the Upper & Lower Mississippi, Tennessee, Ohio or Cumberland rivers in the fall.
