American Queen lay-up

THE American Queen has emerged from its annual lay-up ahead of the 2017 season.

During the refresh, the ship underwent cleaning, repairs and updates, plus eight interior cabins were converted into four new Luxury Suites.

American Queen Steamboat Company president and coo Ted Sykes, said the addition of the Luxury Suites would allow the line to accommodate larger groups and families.

The River Grill & Bar has been completely rebuilt and new tiles were installed in public restrooms and about 25 guest bathrooms.

Cruises aboard the American Queen lead in at US$1,799ppts and include a one-night prevoyage hotel stay.
