American Countess®
AMERICA’S HEART AND SOUL: THE MISSISSIPPI
The Mississippi River is the heart and soul of America—and you can enjoy it from the decks of American Queen Steamboat Company’s newest addition to its paddlewheel riverboat fleet, the American Countess®. From the busy streets of the big city to the charm and slower pace of small-town living, the Mississippi has it all. Take in the bluffs and prairies of the Midwest heartland and the gentle hills and storied oaks of the South as you relax on the observation deck with a glass of sweet tea. This luxurious Paddlewheeler® combines today’s amenities with all of the richness of Victorian-era style.
Enjoy the charm and artistry of the American Countess®. This elegant ship boasts all the distinctions that have made American Queen Voyages™ the most award-winning river cruise line in America, including Broadway-caliber performances nightly, critically acclaimed cuisine featuring local ingredients, and an extraordinary staff-to-guest ratio. Each inviting stateroom is a home away from home, filled with modern comforts—the perfect respite after a busy day on the river.
