The Queen of the Mississippi, a new paddlewheel riverboat operated by American Cruise Lines and built specifically for the Mississippi River, launched this past Saturday, August 4, 2012, in New Orleans. The five-deck, 150-passenger sternwheeler has modern amenities such as elevators, Wi-Fi and satellite TV, along with other features reminiscent of Victorian-era river cruising, such as a calliope. “There’s no pool or casino, but there are large staterooms, a library, a putting green, lectures and musical entertainment,” said Charles Robertson, president and CEO of American Cruise Lines.
