American Queen
|
|
For discounted sailings on the American Queen, click 
The American Queen is the world's largest steamboat, a floating Victorian palace of fretwork, curlicues and fluted stacks. The opulent Grand Saloon is the setting for nightly entertainment; it looks like a 19th-century opera house with its proscenium stage and private box seats on the mezzanine. The antique-filled Mark Twain gallery has comfortable seating for reading, and there's even a covered "front porch" on the bow of the Texas Deck -- lined with rocking chairs, it's the perfect spot for relaxing with a mint julep or lemonade. You can follow the ship's route in the Chart Room, which is decorated with authentic old-fashioned piloting instruments, or visit the Engine Room to chat with engineers and watch the huge steam engines at work. After hours, listen to jazz, Dixieland and ragtime in the Engine Room Bar. Staterooms resemble Victorian bedrooms, with period furnishings (many of them antiques), patterned wallpaper and cabinets. Outside cabins have windowed French doors or bay windows.
