Episode 04: America, the Beautiful

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain

Can you imagine being on the American rivers during the times of Mark Twain or during Lewis & Clarke's Expedition to the West? American Queen Voyages bring all those stories to life with the unique paddleboats and the American traditional cuisine we have come to love. They have set themselves to be the leader in American Rivers from the Columbia to the Great Lakes and don't forget the Southern charms of the Upper and Lower Mississippi Rivers. Recently, American Queen Voyages just added rugged Alaska as well as Yucatan Peninsula as well. Come and join the fun adventures right in your backyard!

Best Time to travel

I think the best time to travel in America is during Spring and Fall when the weather is not too hot nor too cold.


Best Location on the Ship

The recommended locations on these paddlewheels are front to middle of the ship with a balcony to enjoy the fantastic views. You do not want to towards the back for the noisy engine room especially if you are a light sleeper.
