RIVER CRUISING

 

Delta Queen Steamboat Co. 3-14   3901


Delta Queen Steamboat Co. American River Cruises

Experience Great American River Cruises aboard the Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen, American Queen & the Columbia Queen.

The Riverboats of the Delta Queen Steamboat Co. let you explore some of America's Greatest Rivers. The Columbia Queen takes you to the far reaches of the Columbia, Snake and Willamette rivers in the Pacific Northwest, whilst the Delta Queen, Mississippi Queen and American Queen travel nearly the fun length of the Mississippi River system, which is the watershed for the eastern United States. You'll cruise these waterways through four distinctively different regions called "Old South," "America's Heartland," "Wilderness Rivers" and the "Pacific Northwest".

The Old South

The distinctive scenery is ever changing as it winds through a land of fertile cotton fields, vast sugar plantations, moss draped bayous and mysterious cypress swamps. Imagine the sight of majestic mansions surrounded by glorious gardens from a time gone by. Then thrill to the notes of Dixieland from the jazz capital of the world, New Orleans or from the home of the blues, Memphis.

America's Heartland

Here you'll experience a rich tapestry of beauty as you cruise north on the upper Mississippi to Minneapolis/St Paul. From pristine farms nestled in rolling terrain to steep bluffs rising from rivers dotted with wooded islands, it's where thousands of settlers from Europe forged a new life, leaving behind a legacy of industry, bustling ports and historic river towns.

Wilderness Rivers

Here you'll discover an area full of beauty, adventure and character. From the impressive accomplishments of local inventors and craftsmen to the sweet tang of bluegrass music from the Smoky Mountains, it's a region that gave birth to music that is distinctly American - the first steamboat on the western rivers, birthplace of presidents and the love of the country.

Pacific Northwest

The Columbia, Snake and Willamette Rivers take you through a land of towering mountains, impressive volcanoes, breathtaking canyons, shimmering fields and hillside vineyards. Your spirit of adventure is sure to be awakened as you travel into the heritage of American Indians, pioneers and cowboys. Let your imagination run wild as you picture yourself travelling through these different regions. Then let your imagination become reality and discover the time of your life aboard one of the riverboats of the Delta Queen Steamboat Co.
