Paddling along the Ohio River, the American Queen looks like an escapee from another era. Actually, she was launched in 1995. She and her sister steamboats ply the rivers of the midwestern United States offering tranquillity tinged with nostalgia. |

Luxury and cuisine complement each other in the 220-person dining room of the American Queen. To enrich her “good old days” aura, the ship offers home-style Southern cooking and plenty of Dixieland jazz. |

Mark Twain himself, at least in his adult affluence, might feel at home amid the Victorian sumptuousness of the American Queen. Yet for all her fancy trimmings, this 1990s ship offers reassuringly modern amenities. |
