Delta Queen
|
 | |
|
| With her red sternwheel churning the mighty Mississippi and her flag flying high in the balmy blue sky, the legendary Delta Queen cruise ship is the quintessential American river ship. In profile and in spirit, she captures a time when thousands of steamboats plied the country's inland waterways. More than 3,000 of them came and went from the wharf at St. Louis each year!
Built in 1926, gleaming with four decks of teak and original Tiffany-style stained-glass windows, the Delta Queen accommodates just 176 guests, all in outside staterooms. Unique touches abound, including a rare ironwood floor gracing the Orleans Room, the heart of the ship's nightlife, and an 1897 steam calliope that was once salvaged from a sunken showboat and sold to a circus. You'll even find the very same ship's bell that sounded out landings for the steamboat Mark Twain rode downriver in 1883.
Come listen to the clang of that historic bell announcing your own shore landings. Dance on the floor Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Carter have graced. Grab a cup of coffee in the Forward Cabin Lounge and watch the sun burn off the mist over the Mississippi. Take your place in history, today.
