Steamboating is Back. And It's Here to Stay.

Dear Steamboating Enthusiast,

It’s been far too long since you’ve had the opportunity to explore America’s rivers on a genuine steamboat. With the formation of the Great American Steamboat Company, Steamboating is back and better than ever.

In April of 2012, the grand American Queen will resume her proud role of taking guests on Steamboating adventures through the heartland of America. Once again, you will be able to enjoy these unforgettable river voyages with your family and friends.

The Great American Steamboat Company gives you everything you loved about the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, plus much more. By combining all the best attributes of the steamboat experience, we’ve taken Steamboating to a totally new level of historical enrichment, cuisine, comfort and service.

We offer all the adventures and amenities that have made Steamboating such a cherished American tradition—the history and heritage, the warm ambiance of a floating antebellum mansion, the thrill of exploring Mark Twain’s America, the succulent dining, the showboat-style entertainment and dancing the night away to the sounds of swing and big band music. Combine this with gracious service from an all-American staff, and you have an experience that can only be found aboard the American Queen.

We’ve also added a host of new features to make Steamboating vacations more of a value than ever before. For example, select shore excursions are now included in the price of your voyage. We’re also offering complimentary soft drinks and bottled water, as well as complimentary wines and beers at dinner. And you’ll be delighted to know that the American Queen will be serving the acclaimed cuisine of famed American chef Regina Charboneau.

To find out more about the American Queen, our vacation packages and all-new shore adventures, contact your favorite travel agent or browse our website. We look forward to welcoming you aboard America’s only authentic overnight paddlewheel steamboat—the grand American Queen.

Sincerely,

Jeff Krida
Chief Executive Officer
Great American Steamboat Company
