As one of the first cruise and river cruise companies to make such a requirement, travelers will be delighted aboard their river cruises knowing they will be fully vaccinated trips.

Highlighted Trip Types

Mississippi River Cruises

Definitely American Queen Steamboat Company’s most popular category, AQSC’s Mississippi River cruises are so varied, they are further split into upper and lower Mississippi River categories. While the lower Mississippi River cruises either begin, end, or are round-trip from New Orleans, the upper Mississippi River cruises usually incorporate St. Louis or Minneapolis as primary departure/return cities. Good examples of these tours include the Southern Sampler and Mark Twain’s Mississippi.

Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland River Cruises

An incredible combination of beautiful seemingly endless landscapes and elegant Midwestern architecture, these river cruises combine some of the best the area has to offer. Ohio River destinations include Louisville, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. Meanwhile, the Tennessee and Cumberland River cruise itineraries incorporate visits to Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga. Examples for each itinerary group includes Ohio River Exploration and Best of the Tennessee.

Columbia and Snake River Cruises

Experience rocky cliffs, vast forests, and serene wilderness aboard AQSC’s paddlewheelers through the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Visit the Pacific Northwest waterways and wine countries in modern luxury! A couple examples of these itineraries are Pacific Northwest Splendor and Wine Cruise.

Special Edition Voyages

While the rest of American Queen Steamboat Company’s River Cruises take place more often since they are destination based, Special Edition Voyages are much more specific than that. Primary types of Special Edition Voyages include “Culinary & Cocktails,” which are tours based around certain culinary experiences, vineyards, and spirits regions; Special Event river cruises that involve sports events and fall foliage tours; and Holiday river cruises that include 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebrations.
