River Cruises on the Mighty Mississippi

American Queen Steamboat Company

If one day of river cruising is simply not enough for your travelers, consider booking a trip aboard the American Queen, which operates multiday cruises on both the upper and lower sections of the Mississippi River.

The American Queen is the largest steamboat ever built and the only authentic paddle wheeler offering overnight trips on the Mississippi. Though it features the style of classical steamboats, the vessel is also outfitted with modern cabins and dining rooms.

Groups can choose from a variety of cruises on the upper Mississippi River, many of which travel between the Twin Cities area and St. Louis. The trips are all nine days long, and they take place in spring, summer and fall.
