Majestic America Line

Steamship American Queen

American Queen



The American Queen is the glorious flagship of the Majestic America Line fleet. In size and style, she represents the crown jewel of river cruising world-wide, offering for just 436 guests at a time an extraordinary experience of America.

Her 222 staterooms and suites – many with private verandahs – are filled with modern appointments and carefully selected furnishings. Throughout the ship you’ll find finely crafted hardwood fixtures, grand furnishings and gleaming brass details. Of particular note is the J.M. White Dining Room, which pays homage to the legendary vessel that once defined luxury in late 19th-century life.

Other classic features: a gazebo-style pilothouse and towering “feathered” stacks, both designed to be lowered to allow passage under bridges and the opulent two-tiered Grand Saloon, one of the most elegant entertainment spaces on the river. You’ll find modern amenities such as a heated pool and well-equipped athletic club onboard as well.

Featuring six decks and measuring 418-feet in length, the American Queen is the world’s largest river cruise ship, powered by a state-of-the-art propulsion system that combines authentic steam engines and a 45-ton paddlewheel with modern diesel-electric Z-drives.

The American Queen embodies the “best of the best.” Come experience a ship as grand as America itself.
