celebrate the American Queen’s 25th Anniversary with us!

The American Queen® Celebrates  Her 25th Anniversary! The largest, most opulent steamboat in the world was born from a vision to design a grand paddlewheeler that would rival any other on the river. From each thoughtful detail to modern upgrades, the American Queen is an authentic icon of the rivers on which she travels. She is a true engineering marvel that combines steam and diesel power to create a unique river cruising experience. Her construction began in 1994 at McDermott Shipyard in Louisiana. Years of planning culminated in the original christening of this elegant steamboat on June 2, 1995. A lady so grand should have a celebration to match! We invite you to join us throughout 2020 for an anniversary year that is sure to provide memorable experiences for all who sail upon her. There are no greater gifts than those of travel and memories, and what better way to celebrate than on the grandest steamboat ever built!
