We (my wife, myself, my daughter and her spouse) had always wanted to try a US Cruise Ship on the Mississippi River,
We started at New Orleans and traveled to Menmphis, the hotel the ship chose was a part of the pre trip was excellent and we actually booked it via separate reservations a day early,
The room on board was nice, however our steward was at best poor, in fact the ship changed him ...

I always wanted to visit New Orleans and my companion had always wanted to go down/up the Missisipi River. This cruise offered the best of both worlds. Unfortunately i was disapointed to find that the food was not always of good quality and did not cater well for vegetarians. Unfortunately there was also a lot of fried fish rather than fresh fish. There were also times when the boat ran out of ...

Entire boat was reserved for Road Scholar members for this cruise. Instead of the standard one day stay in New Orleans with tours, Road Scholar had two before boarding.
The food and service was outstanding, either in the Main Dining Room with a very good selections or in the Grill Room/Terrace buffet. Most of us chose the Main Dining Room for dinner, wine and beer is included with dinner. and ...

I was invited to join friends on this cruise. New Orleans is a great place to visit pre-cruise. Our hotel was within walking distance of many attractions. Cabin was small but compact, clean and orderly. The bathroom was good size and the walkin shower excellent. Amenities included were shampoo, lotion, shower gel, nice size bar of hand soap. The food was plentiful, many choices, and of ...

We sailed on the American Queen from New Orleans to Memphis in March of 2019.
Due to mother nature the river was too high on the river when we sailed. The American Queen had to make a few adjustments from our original itinerary. However, this process seemed to be done very well. We were notified in advance of what would be changing before getting on the boat, and still were able to see ...

A family feel is definitely what we hope our guests feel when cruising with us. The capacity of our boats really does allow us to get to know each and every guest, their...
After having taken three ocean cruises, the cruise aboard the American Queen was a very nice change. We enjoyed the more personal service that is possible with a maximum capacity of 430 passengers. We appreciated the helpfulness and pleasant demeanor of all the staff we encountered.
The boat and its furnishings are very nice and seemed to be well maintained. The only equipment problem I noted ...

Seeing the mighty Mississippi has been on our list, if only for the size and its place in history. We travelled from Australia to cruise on the American Queen for a 9 night Lower Mississippi New Orleans to Memphis itinerary. Cruise included a first night stopover in New Orleans at the very convenient Riverfront Hilton, which had a pre-checkin facility, which was easy to do. We did our own ...

there was a credit of $800.00 from a previous sailing with the American Queen Steamboat company.
We wanted to try the American Queen - the biggest of the 3 ships in the American Steamboat co.
We were waiting for the last minute deal , we found this cruise in a very short notice of departure.
the ship was built in 1995 - a paddle wheeler, the steamboat built back to the Victorian history ...

We sailed aboard the Duchess from New Orleans to Minnesota departing July 16th.
The Duchess is a beautiful boat with room for 166 guests. The design of all the rooms is pleasing to the eye and very airy with high-ceilings. We entered the boat into the room where Pursuer is located. Access to the bar and grand dining from the Purser is through a hallway lined with beautiful replicas by ...
