Search Help
You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:
Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.
→ In the "Advanced Search"
Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.
Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!
Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.
Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.
→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour
If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Since 1995 American Queen has been taking passengers up and down the Mississippi River delighting them with all the sights and
sounds of the American Heartland. Recently refurbished in 2012, all the romance of old-world paddle-wheel cruising is now combined with
fresh, modern amenities. American Queen is the largest steamboat ever built and a true triumph to America's history.
American Queen visits many famous cities in the American Midwest and Gulf region. These include Springfield, St. Louis, St. Paul,
Memphis, Vicksburg, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. These itineraries span the entire length of the great Mississippi River as she runs
north from Saint Paul down south into the Gulf of Mexico. Famous landmarks visited during these voyages include Abraham Lincoln's
birthplace, Country Music Hall of Fame, and of course the Jazz district of New Orleans.
Most staterooms onboard American Queen feature a balcony. For some this is a beautiful private veranda with chairs and tables.
For others guests can open the back door of their stateroom and walk right out to the outside promenade deck of American Queen.
All staterooms feature a private bathroom with tub and beautiful hardwood furnishings.

Ship Highlights
Authentic Steam-wheel Ship
American Queen continues the tradition of the American Steamboat complete with a paddle-wheel propulsion system. One of very few
ships to still be powered by a steam engine, American Queen pays homage to the days when travel was a bit slower and perhaps
enjoyed a bit more. In the case of emergency or to navigate some of the tighter areas on the Mississippi River,
American Queen also has diesel-electric propellers to assist the paddle-wheel.
Old-World Styling
From the moment that guests step onboard American Queen, they will quickly realize that she fully embraces the old-world charm of
American paddle-wheelers. With interior decorated with glistening woods, fresh flowers, and immaculate antiques, one truly feels like they
are traveling in the late 1800's when onboard American Queen.
Visit the best of America's Heartland
With itineraries traversing the Mississippi all the way from Minneapolis to as far south as New Orleans, guests will be able to experience
all the wonders of the American Heartland onboard American Queen.
