Delta Queen Riverboat
The Delta Queen steamboat was completed in 1927,
and is now on the National Register of Historic Places and a National Historic
Landmark. The Delta Queen has an interesting history that includes carrying U.S.
Navy troops to ships in San Francisco Bay during World War II. Now the Delta
Queen cruises the Mississippi River through the Old South and America's Heartland,
and along Wilderness rivers. The Delta Queen riverboat is an intimate ship with
hardwood paneling, teak handrails, ornate trim and brass fittings. The Grand
Staircase on the Delta Queen steamboat is crowned by a crystal chandelier and is
photographed often. Gathering spots on the Delta Queen riverboat include the
wood-paneled Texas Lounge; the Forward Cabin Lounge, a Victorian sitting room
with Tiffany-style stained glass windows and crystal chandeliers; and the Betty
Blake Lounge, a cozy retreat with artwork that depicts the history of the Delta
Queen. On your Delta Queen cruise, you can watch the scenery roll by in a comfortable
rocking chair on deck, pick up a souvenir in the Steamboatique Gift Shop or see
the view from the Engine Room Viewing Area. All Delta Queen staterooms are outside
cabins featuring period furnishings and special touches like patchwork quilts and
wood-shuttered windows.
