# 1 All the details

We take care of all the things so you don’t have to. Trisha and I meet with you to discuss the cruise, cabin opportunities and manage all the confirmations and organization of your cruise. No need for you to lift a finger. We organize the airfare to Memphis and the return airfare from New Orleans. If you want to customize your travels and extend your stay in New Orleans or go into Memphis early, we do that too!

#2 America the Beautiful & No Passport Needed!

• 

Have you seen our own beautiful country? The Lower Mississippi River has stories to share – a legacy that flows from Memphis to the Gulf of Mexico. Embark on more than just a cruise, and return with more than memories: experience, understanding, an enlightened perspective. Let us introduce you to the American South and show you all the great sights and port cities as we cruise the legendary Mississippi river between Memphis to New Orleans. A new chapter awaits as we cruise around each river bend.

#3 An 8 night vacation, not just a 7 night cruise

Bonus! You start your vacation with a pre-night included hotel stay at the Memphis Peabody! Fly in a day earlier than the cruise departure, enjoy meeting fellow cruisers. The evening is yours to become acquainted with the city. Another added benefit to this included feature is that in addition to Trisha and I hosting you, an American Queen Steamboat local representative is there, ready and available to help you with dining, entertainment and sightseeing to maximize your experience in Memphis!

American Queen also offers Premium Tours at an additional cost if you want a deeper more immersive experience to a very special attraction that grabs your interest along the way. For example, Plantations of the Back Roads or Redemption and Rehabilitation at Angola Prison. Another added benefit is that Trisha and I are with you the entire week and we can help you navigate your choices. See, cruising YOUR way.

Did you know that life long friendships are created on river cruises? It’s true. You are traveling with many other like minded people with generally the same interests from books, history, love of America, steamboats, life stages and so much more. You will meet new friends during our week of travel and those friendships and those memories will last a lifetime. Conversations, laughter, fellowship happen here.

#9 The Ship

The largest steamboat ever built, the grand American Queen is a gracious and elegant triumph of American ingenuity. Our flagship paddlewheeler is a gentle soul packaged within the ornate detailing that embellishes her exterior. Any traveler who chooses to cruise on this iconic riverboat will soon find that her steady heart beats to the rhythm of music that resounds within her walls. Embark on a river cruise on the American Queen, the wondrous steamboat that introduces her guests to the waters that she calls home – the great rivers that have sustained towns, wildlife and memories throughout history.

She has 12 social and public spaces and three different dining venues!

#10 The Entertainment

• 

The Grand Saloon is home to award-winning, Broadway-caliber entertainment every night. The venue is two decks tall and resembles a 19th century opera house with details modeled after Ford’s Theatre.
