Delta Queen

The Delta Queen is the nation’s last authentic overnight passenger steamboat that is still fully intact and capable of traveling the inland waterways of America.

The legendary vessel and her identical twin, the Delta King, were built in 1926 and entered service on June 2, 1927. At the time, they were the most extravagant river steamboats ever constructed, costing over $1 million each to build and furnish. While in service by the California Transportation Company, the Delta duo carried freight and produce on their main decks while offering luxurious accommodations to passengers commuting between San Francisco and Sacramento each night. The pair continued this way until 1940, when improved highways and rail service forced them out of service.

The steamers didn’t sit idle long. As the nation was gripped by World War II, the Delta Queen was commissioned by the United States Navy to ferry troops from shallow water piers to and from ocean-going vessels in San Francisco Bay. Painted in battleship gray and designated YFB-56, the Delta Queen transported up to 3,000 military members during each trip. The vessel received the first wounded troops following the attack on Pearl Harbor, ferrying them to shore-based hospitals in San Francisco. In 1946, as the war drew to a close, the Delta Queen and Delta King were declared surplus by the Navy and prepared for auction.

Meanwhile, on the Ohio River, Captain Tom Greene was enjoying the success of his own tourist steamer, the Gordon C. Greene.   Greene had grand visions of operating the largest and most luxurious steamboat plying the rivers. When the government put the Delta twins on the auction block, Greene bid $23,000 on the Delta King and was unsuccessful. Not wanting to be outbid a second time, he entered a bid of $46,000 for the Delta Queen. With no other bids, the Navy awarded the vessel to Greene and his family.

After a 5,000-mile journey down the California coast, through the Panama Canal and across the Gulf of Mexico, the Delta Queen arrived in New Orleans. She then traveled upriver to Dravo Shipyards in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a $500,000 renovation.

Under the ownership of Greene Line Steamers, the Delta Queen entered the tourist trade in 1948 and quickly made a name for herself on the waterways. Over the next two decades, she traveled the Mississippi River and Ohio River in their entireties, stopping in more than 80 ports across the Midwest and South.

In 1966, an ocean-bound cruise ship with a wooden super structure caught fire, resulting in the deaths of many passengers. The U.S. Congress quickly enacted the Safety at Sea Act, which required any vessel carrying more than 50 overnight passengers to be constructed entirely of non-combustible materials. As the only overnight passenger vessel operating on the inland rivers, the Delta Queen was inadvertently included in this law aimed at ocean going ships and forced out of service.

Based on the Delta Queen’s impeccable safety record and close proximity to land at all times, Congress granted her an exemption from the new law. The exemption was continually renewed with overwhelming support until 2008, when the boat’s prior owners failed to take the necessary steps to obtain a renewal.

A year later, the Delta Queen docked in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she became a floating hotel while her owners sought new ownership. Visitors enjoyed her Victorian charm and nostalgic grandeur, but behind the scenes, her once state-of-the-art machinery began to decay while sitting dormant along the riverfront. The future of the nation’s last authentic overnight steamboat was grim. Without her, an important chapter of maritime history would come to a close.    

In 2010, a group of loyal supporters with a shared vision launched a mission to preserve the historic Delta Queen. The group purchased the vessel and led a decade-long legislative effort to allow her rightful return to the waterways. With steadfast support from Ohio Congressman Steve Chabot and Missouri Senators Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt, the bill successfully moved through the legislature and landed on President Donald Trump’s desk. He signed the Delta Queen’s exemption from the 1966 Safety at Sea Act into law on December 4, 2018.

The President’s action will allow the Delta Queen to return to overnight cruise service through 2028. 

At this time, the renowned vessel is undergoing many mechanical, safety, and cosmetic upgrades. When renovations are complete, the Delta Queen is expected to return to her rightful place on America’s inland waterways in late 2020.

American Queen Itineraries

American queen review, review of american queen.

The 1995-built American Queen cruise ship was initially operated by Delta Queen Steamboat Company (now defunct ) and until 2024 by AQSC (American Queen Voyages) . the 436-passenger riverboat is similar to fleetmate American Empress , and also to ACL-American Cruise Lines vessels Queen of the Mississippi/now American Heritage and Queen of the West/now American West .

American Queen is the largest steamboat ever built in the world. Before relaunching in April 2012, the ship received a USD 6,5 million renovation to make the Victorian decor. Cabins got new LCDTVs and bedding. A top-deck bar (River Grill) was also added. Today, the steamboat feels much more like a historic boutique hotel than a riverboat.

American Queen cruises the Upper and Lower Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee rivers with 5- to 14-day itineraries. Departure ports include New Orleans , St Louis MO , Minneapolis-St Paul MN , Memphis TN , Cincinnati OH .

The previous shipowner was Hornblower Group Inc (via Hornblower Cruises and Events).

Following the bankruptcy of Hornblower Group in 2024 (February), American Queen Voyages was placed for sale. Hornblower was sold to Strategic Value Partners and announced reorganization plans, focusing on its other subsidiaries.

In a Texas-held auction in March 2024, ACL/American Cruise Lines became the highest bidder and purchased four riverboats (American Queen, American Duchess ,  American Empress , American Countess ) plus other AQV assets.

American Queen Wiki

American Queen riverboat was built in the USA and christened in Nashville TN by Godmother Phyllis Dale (owner of Phyllis Dale Travel Agency, Winter Springs Florida). As flag-state , the USA flag requires all officers, crew and hotel staff on the vessel to be American (US citizens).

By design, this USA-based river cruise ship is classified as "paddle-wheeler" (paddle-wheel boat). The vessel is similar to the fleet mate American Empress , and the famous American Cruise Lines ships Queen of the Mississippi/American Heritage and Queen of the West/American West . They all feature a huge, stern-mounted paddle wheel.

American Queen became second in 2012's Great Steamboat Race. The first prize was for the steamboat Belle of Cincinnati. The vessel is acknowledged to be the world's largest steamboat ever built. The ship is 6-decks high and built as a Mississippi riverboat replica vessel for the Delta Queen Steamboat Company (currently non-operational USA cruise line).

Just like the classic USA riverboats from the late 1800s which used to sail on the country's largest rivers (like Mississippi, Ohio, Snake, Columbia), the American Queen steamboat has a huge paddlewheel. It is a feature component of the vessel's main propulsion system. The impressive paddle wheel is driven by a hydraulic motor powered by a steam plant. Besides the paddle wheel, for better maneuverability and during emergencies, the ship uses its two Azimuth thrusters (aka Z-drives). These are modern marine propulsion units (diesel-electric propellers) mounted on either side of the stern paddlewheel. Both Z-drives are fully submerged underwater, and able to rotate at 360 degrees.

A cruise on the Queen Elizabeth , one of Cunard’s three ocean liners, is a chance to step back into the glamorous hey-day of cruising. Passengers can delight in the fabulously British touches of afternoon tea, a game of croquet and a formal royal ball. Queen Elizabeth also has lots of modern features, including a state-of-the-art Computer Centre, relaxing whirlpools and karaoke, for some fun at night. Cunard is also known for its cuisine - we recommend the Lobster Newberg at the Queens Grille and the decadent Cambridge Burnt Cream Tart at the Britannia Restaurant.

• The Queens Room The full history and grandeur of the Britain’s aristocracy comes alive on Cunard’s ocean liners. To really immerse yourself in the culture, you must have Afternoon Tea in the Queens Room aboard the Queen Elizabeth.

QE2 Cruise Packages

Combine at the world’s most iconic floating hotel with a luxury cruise aboard the regal Queen Mary 2 with our exclusive QE2 cruise packages…

Built in 1967 and originally known as Hull 736, Queen Elizabeth 2 was synonymous with luxury cruising. The ship’s colourful history, which saw her cover 5.6 million miles and complete 806 transatlantic crossings for Cunard – as well as a stint carrying troops in the Falklands War – means the QE2 is rightfully remembered as the world’s most famous ocean liner.

Now based in Dubai, Queen Elizabeth 2 has been reborn as an elegant hotel. The period furniture and original portholes have been maintained, while modifications to the ship’s suites and restaurants mean that she sits effortlessly among the world’s most desirable hotels.

The collection of packages below give you the opportunity to enjoy a stay on Queen Elizabeth 2 either before, or after, a voyage aboard another famous Queen, the QM2 . We’ve included a variety of Cunard sailings to suit all preferences and are delighted to feature itineraries in the Mediterranean, Asia and Australia.
