A specially themed cruise on the iconic American Queen®
Celebrate the remaining days of summer with a timeless journey through the scenic beauty of the Upper Mississippi River region, and tap into the sense of wonder that caused early pioneers to call the Heartland home. The history, scenery and cultural highlights unfold through a series of onboard enrichment activities and special guest lectures as you venture from one intriguing river town to another.
Perhaps no person defined the world’s view of America’s greatest river better than Mark Twain, and on this magnificent journey, you will witness his legendary words and wit brought to life onboard by expert tribute artist Lewis Hankins. And let us not forget the regional cuisine tantalizing the taste buds at every turn. From the savory, hickory-smoked, fall-off-the-bone flavors of Memphis barbecue, delicious honey-buttermilk-fried walleyed pike, or a decadent dose of homemade blackberry cobbler, it’s all on the menu.
Whether you are a fan of nature’s raw beauty and wildlife, or an enthusiast of history and culture, the upper reaches of the Mississippi surrounding the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul will surely pique your interest and capture your heart.
