American Duchess Life on Board

Night after magical night, top entertainers bring down the house in the American Duchess's majestic Show Lounge/Auditorium. Each evening the lights dim, the curtains rise and our talented performers offer you entertainment worthy of Broadway.

As history plays such a large part of your cruise experience, the Riverlorian is onboard for each voyage to impart the history and lore of the river on which you are cruising. In addition to the ever-present Riverlorian, they often feature a diverse lineup of guest historians who take to the stage and transport you to another era. You’ll enjoy hearing from these noted speakers who offer astounding insights on the culture and heritage of America's Heartland and the Deep South. Relive a tale from Mark Twain for an enchanted evening and you will retire to your room convinced that you've just had a conversation with history.

Onboard Activities

American Queen Steamboat Company provides a wide array of onboard activities. You may do as much or as little as you desire. You can attend one of the Riverlorian’s programs, watch a video, or recruit fellow guests for a card game. Perhaps complete serenity is more tempting? Stroll with friends, relax with a book and binoculars on deck or enjoy a cocktail in one of the vessel’s unique bars.

Gym

Weight and resistance training are simple with their workout bench, dumbbells and other equipment. Guests looking for a more aerobic form of exercise can get their heart rates up using our treadmills or the static bike.

When you travel with the American Queen Steamboat Company, your complete workout routine is easily accommodated!
