American Queen

The AQ was built in 1995 and is powered by a two-piston steam engine recovered from a 1932 US Army dredge. The paddle wheeler accommodates about 380 passengers. We are comfortably in cabin 204 which has a bay window but no balcony. The furnishings and fittings throughout the ship are opulent but are starting to look just a little dated in our cabin. There are two sittings for dinner, and there is the buffet-style Front Porch Cafe if you want to eat casually outside sitting times.
