I’m an avid Steamboat
traveler. How will your experience compare to the former operations?
We have taken everything you loved about the fabled Delta Queen Steamboat
Company and are adding some delightful new enhancements. Our Chief
Executive was the President of the fabled Delta Queen Steamboat
Company during its mid-90's heyday when it was at the peak of popularity and
guest satisfaction. We know that history, heritage and tradition reign supreme
and our goal is to present our guests with an experience that is even warmer,
friendlier and enriching than your fondest memories of voyages past.
We have also added more value to the Steamboat experience by including all
bottled water and soft drinks, coffees and cappuccinos, wine and beer with
dinner, and deluxe, pre-cruise hotel stay and complimentary shore excursions
on every voyage.
What sort of onboard programs will you offer?
The American Queen will feature a Riverlorian on every voyage, lavish
showboat style entertainment, big band, swing, Dixieland jazz and music from
the '40s, '50s and '60s. We will also present an in-depth enrichment program
and all the onboard services and niceties that you expect, and then some.
What kind of dining can I expect?
The American Queen will feature a bevy of dining options and is the
only paddlewheel riverboat to feature multiple specialty dining options, all
at no charge of course! The opulent J.M. White Dining Room will offer full
breakfast, lunch and dinner service along with specialty buffets and even a
New Orleans Jazz Brunch. You may also dine at The Front Porch of America, the
River Grill or order from our specialty Po' Boy menu almost around the clock.
All of the cuisine aboard the American Queen is overseen by the
celebrated American chef, Regina Charboneau. A native of Natchez, Mississippi,
she is the Queen of Heartland Cuisine and has designed menus that are brimming
with old-fashioned comfort foods, American classics and new twists on old
favorites.
What about the accommodations?
The American Queen features a diverse range of elegant and
well-appointed accommodations. From economy inside staterooms to lavish luxury
suites, each is decorated with Victorian-style furnishings and features plush
bedding dressed with the finest linens, tasteful amenities and all of the
modern conveniences you expect.
I want to travel with a group of friends. Will
you have any special offers for groups?
Please consult your travel professional as they can tailor a group travel
program specifically to your wants, needs and budget.
