Mississippi River Cruises with American Queen Steamboat Company
The Mississippi has long served as a muse and inspiration for many of America’s most cherished writers. From Mark Twain – who once said that the Mississippi River “will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise” – to William Faulkner and his Snopes Trilogy, the Mississippi has not only been the lifeblood of commerce for the Old South but has also fuelled some of history’s most creative minds.
The American Queen Steamboat Company offers two distinctive river cruise experiences on the Mississippi; The Lower Mississippi and the Upper Mississippi. There is no better way to explore the mighty Mississippi River than on an authentic steamboat such as the American Queen.
Lower Mississippi River Cruises
Voyages on the lower Mississippi travel between the carefree city of New Orleans and soul-soaked Memphis. Sailing on the beautiful American Queen, guests will be taken on a journey of true discovery; past water-side Victorian mansions and plantation houses, and through towns that encapsulate everything there is to be celebrated about the Old South.
For those who wish to enhance their experience on the lower Mississippi, American Queen Steamboat Company offers a variety of inspiring theme cruises, including The Roots of Jazz.
