AMERICAN QUEEN STEAMBOAT - TRULY THE MOST RELAXING TRIP YOU WILL EVER TAKE... LIFE SLOWS DOWN ON THE RIVER
If true relaxation and reliving the past is what you might be looking for, have a look at these pictures and get ready to step back in time...
You can click on any photo to see it enlarged, or see them as a slide show.
Getting ready to board...
Some of the 'public' places'. Honestly, you can do as much - or as little - as you want on the boat.
This is what the majority of the staterooms look like - both with private and 'public' verandas. Honestly - there is more storage/closet space than in some hotels!! Pictures don't do it justice...
Beautiful dining room - and the food! Unbelievably good!!
The Grand Saloon - entertainment every evening, special guests and activities during the day. Some evenings there is 'local' entertainment, other evenings is the on-board entertainment team - fantastically good!!
The Paddlewheel - I couldn't get enough...
The Mark Twain Reading Room - lots of comfy chairs to curl up in and read a bit... Or play cards... Or do puzzles... Or read some history...
The Engine Room Bar. I may - or may not have - spent some time here... The band would move up here after the entertainment in the Grand Saloon - some nights were blues nights; some were jazz; some were not really karaoke - but others could join in; some were special guests. Always great entertainment, and great fun!
Did I mention the food??
Calliope Concert!
