Queen of the Mississippi (2017 ship)

The Queen of the Mississippi is a paddlewheel riverboat operating on the Mississippi, Ohio, and other major rivers of the United States. Launched in 2017, it is owned and operated by American Cruise Lines. It is designed to evoke the style of 19th-century steamboats while incorporating modern amenities and safety features. The ship features staterooms with private balconies, multiple lounges and dining venues, and onboard entertainment. It is primarily used for multi-day cruises, offering passengers a historical and scenic journey along America's waterways. The Queen of the Mississippi is not to be confused with earlier vessels that bore the same or a similar name. Its passenger capacity is significantly larger than traditional steamboats, catering to a modern cruise experience.
