American Queen & American Duchess Riverboats

The luxurious American Queen will be back in our historical civil war town this Wednesday from 8:00 to 5:00.  She has not been here since June 30. Looking forward to seeing her again at the waterfront with her passengers to tour our historic sites.  

The American Duchess, the American Queen Steamboat Co.'s newest riverboat, was in Vicksburg Saturday, August 19 to give local officials a tour of the boat, which will be making 28 stops in the Red Carpet City during 2018.  It was built on the hull of a former casino boat that was renovated and expanded, and christened on August 14 in New Orleans and is the first all-suite paddle wheeler on U.S. rivers, according to American Queen Co, website.  It can accommodate 160 guests and carries a crew of 96. She is predicted to come back through Vicksburg on Wednesday, September 20 from 8:00 to 5:00.
