Majestic America Line

One of the world’s premier river cruise lines and the largest river and coastal cruising company in the United States, Majestic America Line provides guests with a graceful, refined experience exploring extraordinary American destinations. Majestic America Line’ fleet of U.S.-flagged and built ships travel the storied rivers and coastal waterways of America – from Alaska’s Inside Passage to the raging rivers of the West to the mighty Mississippi.

With each ship offering a boutique experience unique to itself and intimate access to the scenic places, historical events and varied cultures that define regional America, the travel experiences available to guests are immeasurable. The company’s unmatched attention to quality with deluxe comfort and warm, attentive service from an American crew makes a voyage on the ships of Majestic America Line a truly unforgettable experience. The company’s intimate ships ensure a comfortable, yet refined, cruise experience where guests can mingle with everyone aboard, from their fellow adventurers to the Majestic America Line crew, including the ship’s captain.

Formed in 2006 through the combination of American West Steamboat Company and the vessels of Delta Queen Steamboat Company, Seattle-based Majestic America Line is a division of Ambassadors Cruise Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambassadors International, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMIE).

Our Signature Mark

As America's largest river and coastal cruise company, we make our home on the nation's waterways, plying the tides and currents unhurriedly, in intimate connection with nature and time. We are passionate about the wild environments in which we operate and are committed to their lifelong preservation. That passion is embodied in our signature mark which is inspired by the Trumpeter Swan. Graceful...immense...magnificent... The Trumpeter Swan is a fitting symbol for Majestic America Line, one that captures our company's proud spirit and grand size. Like swans, our immaculate ships glide regally along through unique American landscapes. They are in every way...majestic.

The Ships

We are proud to present the finest fleet of river and coastal cruising ships in America. Though each is unique, they have all been designed to offer an unparalleled experience of the country, from the heartland to the bayous, western canyons to Alaskan fjords.

American Queen - The American Queen is Majestic America's flagship in the midwest. Like most of Majestic America's ships she is a paddlewheel steamer. She sails the Mississippi and the midwestern rivers that connect to it.

Delta Queen - another of the three paddlewheel steamships that sail the Mississippi and its tributaries.

Mississippi Queen - the third of the Mississippi River paddlewheel steamships.

Queen of the West - paddlewheel steamship that sails the rivers of the Northwest - Columbia and Snake.

Empress of the North - Empress of the North is the only paddlewheel steamship to sail Alaska's inside passage. In the winter, she can be found on the rivers of the Northwest.

The Itineraries

There’s nothing to match the intimacy and immediacy of river and coastal cruising: no other mode of travel takes you so deep into a region’s heart. When was the last time you saw a seal pup haul out on an ice floe or watched a small-town parade? Now take the same idea and scale it up in size: to 12,000´ peaks, mile-deep canyons, rivers carrying water from 31 states… This is America as you’ve never seen it: roadless…majestic…utterly unique.

Alaska - sail Alaska's inside passage in a turn of the century paddlewheel steamship.

American Discovery - explore middle America along the Ohio, Tenessee, and Cumberland rivers.

Americas Heartland - explore the Mississippi River from Minnesota to the Ohio River.

Lower Mississippi - the Lower Mississippi includes The Mississippi River from Memphis to New Orleans; the Arkansas, Red and Black Warrior Rivers; and the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.

Northwest Rivers - discover beauty and history along the Columbia and Snake rivers in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon.
