Overview

American Queen

The largest steamboat ever built, American Queen stands tall as the flagship vessel of American Queen Voyages. Built in 1995, the impressive paddlewheeler provides an elegant exploration of the American heartlands. Before taking guided excursions to one of several Midwest or Southern touchpoints, you’ll enjoy a classy, yet casual vibe onboard a ship rich in entertainment, enrichment, and mouth-watering cuisine.

Recently refurbished, American Queen comfortably carries over 400 passengers, all of whom will enjoy renowned service from a hospitable staff. Venues like the Mark Twain Gallery create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with Victorian décor. Prepare to get whisked away by the classical and charming riverboat.

Departing from ports such as Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans, American Queen has multiple itineraries catered to appreciating landmarks and hidden gems alike across the U.S. Just a few of their most popular packages (all available in reverse starting ports and destinations) include:
