American Queen Steamboat Company Cruises from New Orleans

The American Queen Steamboat Company has gone out of business. The ships were purchased by American Cruise Lines.

American Queen Steamboat Company offered cruises on the Mississippi River and its surrounding tributaries. The ships featured regional cuisine in two restaurants, a small pool, all-American staff, daily lectures by the Riverlorian, showboat-style entertainment nightly, and nightly dancing to swing, big band and Dixieland jazz music.
