American Queen Voyages North America River Cruise Reviews

A wonderful look at America's heartland on a beautiful steamboat! Food is excellent - the grilled salmon was moist, and the bread pudding with whiskey sauce a real treat! The cabins are clean, and chocolates on one's bedtime pillow is a sweet touch. The Hop-on, Hop-off busses transport passengers to amazing historic towns and villages. Tours of historic homes and museums, along with access to ...

The brochure promised a week on the upper Mississippi in some comfort on a genuine stern-wheel riverboat with evening entertainment from the 50s-60s big band era. It didn't disappoint. Food and service were excellent and our top deck cabin spacious and comfortable. The evening entertainment was of a surprisingly high standard - a group of four talented singers and dancers who featured in shows of ...

The cruise was great. The food was excellent. I can not say enough about the entertainment. The best I have ever seen on a cruise. Phil, the piano player knows just about any song you could ever think of. If he doesn't know it, hum a few bars and he will take it from there. All of his shows were a lot of fun and extremely entertaining. The entertainment at night with four siners and a band was ...

We wanted to see the northern fall colors along the Mississippi River. Even though the cruise itinerary was changed due to weather conditions, the modified excursion was relaxing and very enjoyable. The wait staff in the dining room, Ky and Cornel, were fabulous. The stay in port the night before the cruise was helpful to get ready for a great cruise and a way to experience the culture of the ...

My river cruise on the American Queen was one of the best things I've ever done and that's saying a lot after a 35-year airline career! A Mississippi River paddlewheeler has been on my bucket list since the Delta Queen and Mississippi Queen (predecessors to the American Queen) had been plying the same waters. The pre-departure day in St. Louis afforded me the opportunity to go up in the Gateway ...

We were on the American Empess on the Columbia and Snake River. This is an excellent cruise. The staff is the best, and the food is out of this world. They do everything so well from the hop on hop off tours to the premiun tours. It was a ery stress free trip. I heartily recommend it. The Riverlorian, Mary, gave rxcellent , informative talks about the journey of Lewis and Clark to fi a ...

Best trip of our lives! The quality was superb! The staff was of the highest quality as was the food and entertainment. I was shocked by the excellence of everything. From the songs of Michaelyn Obry to Kris who let us off the boat in such a chipper manner every day, there was no hiccup. Everything was fabulous. American Steamboat has a Hop on Hop off bus meet you at each port to ensure you ...

We joined another couple on this riverboat cruise without much planning. Although we were unable to get a stateroom in our preferred category, the one we had was satisfactory. Should we travel with American Queen again getting the larger stateroom would be important to us. The rooms were very clean, nicely appointed and had adequate storage and organization features. The service was quick and ...

We are from Oz and had sailed twice before on the American Queen, so this was our third sailing with a back to back from New Orleans to Memphis and then on to St Louis. We once again would rate the fourteen days as excellent, with a noticeable improvement with the boats WIFI. Our pre boat cruise was at the New Orleans Hyatt Regency, which included a substantial quality breakfast. As we had ...

We had wanted to do a Mississippi river cruise for years and finally did it. I did quite a bit of research before we picked a cruise and I'm very glad we chose this one. I'm convinced it was/is the best. The embarkation process was very well planned and ran smoothly. The American Queen was beautiful -- everything we imagined. The public spaces were very well appointed and comfortable. The ...
