The Delta Queen Riverboat teems with history that includes ferrying troops during the war. But more than its teeming history, this Queen of the Cruises is also known for its beauty with its panels of hardwood, handrails made of teak and intricate trimmings. The Delta Queen Riverboat also boasts of a giant staircase whose grandeur is further accented by a magnificent crystal chandelier, a favorite spot for those wanting a photo souvenir.

But despite her charm and splendor, this Queen of the Steamboats may soon have to end her reign. The Delta Queen’s exception from a law that bans wooden vessels from carrying fifty or more people on overnight travels have not been extended and the grounding of the Delta Queen looms as a big possibility.

Built in 1926, the Delta Queen Riverboat is one huge wooden steamboat. It is ironic that the wooden glory of the Delta Queen that gave it much charm and acclaim is also the same thing that may cause it to stop sailing. And while there are movements to try and keep the Delta Queen on the river, farewell tours have already been scheduled.

If you are looking for a romantic getaway for you and your special someone, consider the dreamy appeal of sailing with the Delta Queen. If you are a history lover, consider the joys and privilege of sailing in a steamboat that is overflowing with a record of times gone by. Or if you say you are a regular person wanting a simple get away from the daily grind, you may want to consider the tranquility of sitting on the Delta Queen’s deck while watching magnificent sunsets.

Whatever your need and wants, the Delta Queen Riverboatis worthy of giving you a royal fun time. The Queen is waiting to welcome you as she embarks on what may be her final adventure. Answer her call… You won’t regret it.
