The Delta Queen

The Delta Queen cruised the Mississippi since 1947. She was a National Historic Landmark that was a unique experience in cruising. Small and charming, the Delta Queen is comparable to a boutique hotel on the water.

The Delta Queen had 88 staterooms, all with outside views. The simple elegance of the rooms included individual climate control, storage space, and private bath. The Delta Queen's luxury touches included teak decks, Tiffany-style stained glass windows, and a steam calliope. The Orleans Room was the place for the ship's nightlife.
