If you have not yet experienced cruising the Mississippi River aboard the historic Delta Queen, then you may want to free some dates in your calendar as soon as possible. Mississippi Delta Queen, a paddlewheel riverboat which was built in the 1920s, will be sailing its last few voyages before it retires by the end of the season in 2008.

The Delta Queen is one of the three steam-powered riverboats that the Delta Queen Steamboat Company operates along the Mississippi River. It is an award-winning paddlewheeler which has its share of glorious destiny in the history.

Mississippi Delta Queen had been able to endure the federal rules which forbid any boat that has a wooden structure to carry passengers when Congress awarded the Delta Queen a twenty-year exemption. Unfortunately, the exemption will be expiring soon. The paddlewheeler will then have to cease its operation and be converted into a static tourist attraction.

You can select from the different itineraries of the Mississippi Delta Queen which range between three and twelve nights. You can share the fun of Delta Queen cruises with the rest of your family, or you can opt for an intimate trip with your special someone. There are also available packages that combine land and river adventures. The rates of Delta Queen cruises are based on per person and on double occupancy of its cabin.

If you easily experience motion sickness while aboard a ship, then cruising aboard Mississippi Delta Queen is a better alternative. This steamboat does not sail out into the sea, which can be quite rough and make you sick. You will not be subjected to a complicated process when you check-in which is commonly found in other cruises. You will simply board the Delta Queen and off you go to your exciting journey in the heartland of America.
