Looking for a romantic cruise with flair? Then try the Delta Steamboat Company. Since 1890, the Delta Steam-boat Company has served as the keeper of the steamboat legacy, offering memorable cruises on America's only three steam-powered overnight paddlewheelers: The Delta Queen, The Mississippi Queen, and The African Queen.
The Delta Queen was built in 1926 and is a National Historic Landmark. Her Victorian features harken back to the era of Mark Twain. She showcases rare and exotic hardwoods, brass fittings, and a grand staircase. All the accommodations aboard The Delta Queen are outside staterooms, and many have private verandas that offer a view of the antebellum landscape of plantation homes. The limited number of staterooms also adds an intimate touch to your cruise and makes you feel like an honored guest.
Theme cruises such as Big Band, World War II, and Civil War are offered annually. The steamboats travel the entire length of the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, and Atchafayala Rivers with
thrity-two ports of embarkment.
