Or cruise the Columbia and Snake rivers on the American Empress. Now you can enjoy the ambiance of the 1800's with the casual comforts of the 21st century and discover the heartland of America on a historic riverboat experience.

Your itinerary may also visit cities like New Orleans, Natchez, Memphis and St Louis, while shore excursions during the cruise are complimentary.

Your stateroom is richly appointed, reminiscent of a Victorian bed and breakfast, featuring a plush pillow-top bed, fine linens and down pillows. Aboard American Queen there are a number of connecting staterooms, convenient for families. For solo travelers there are single cabins available. Steamboating wouldn't be half as enjoyable without music, and onboard your American river cruise, music is at the heart of onboard entertainment, with Dixieland, jazz and more.
