I was in the Target Travel office the other day and happened across a brochure for the American Queen Steamboat Company.

How would you like to do a cruise on a Paddlesteamer? On the Mississippi River and its tributaries? There are cruises available on the Lower Mississippi, The Upper Mississippi, the Ohio and Tennessee rivers, and the Columbia and Snake rivers.
These areas are immersed in American history and you will be transported back in time. How would you like to voyage from New Orleans to Memphis? In pure opulence and Southern hospitality? How about exploring the world of Mark Twain?
Experience early American history and picturesque river towns, as well as some of the AQSC most popular themed cruises: Big Band Swing, Delta Blues, Gardens of the Rivers, Elvis, and Southern Culture.

Time your voyage around events such as Mardi Gras, New Years Eve or Thanksgiving.
Premium Tours are also available as options. Follow more closely the Lewis & Clark Expedition or explore the wineries of Walla Walla.
Two vessels are operated - the American Queen (the largest riverboat ever built) and the American Empress. Click the links for more information on these watercraft.
