Majestic America Line

(formerly American West Steamboat Co. and the vessels of Delta Queen Steamboat Co.)

No matter how broad your travels, you haven't done this before.

Majestic America Line doesn't offer cruises in the ordinary sense. Rather, we offer extraordinary American experiences. Our fleet of seven U.S.-flagged, American-crewed cruise ships is the finest river cruise fleet in America, carrying guests in supreme comfort on intimate journeys along the Mississippi, Northwest Rivers and Alaska's Inside Passage.

Even the linens are exquisite.

Staterooms and suites on five of our ships are the most spacious of any river cruise line. With more patios and verandahs than other river cruise lines (including 100% river-view staterooms on some ships), guests can enjoy panoramic views of the passing countryside. And beginning in 2007, guests can enjoy enhanced amenities including custom deluxe mattresses, high thread-count linens, deluxe duvets and pillows and other more, designed to deliver a vacation experience that is second to none.

An all-American voyage deserves an all-American crew.

Many of our repeat guests tell us that the warm, attentive service delivered by our all-American crew is the reason they return time and again. And with the highest crew-to-guest ratio of any river cruise line, they have time to make guests feel like the most important person on board.

Don't dine. Feast.

In Alaska, go for the salmon-it was caught not far from here. Try the fried green tomatoes in New Orleans. Rise and shine to oat bread in the heartland. Uncork a wonderful Washington wine along the mighty Columbia. Regional specialties are our specialty. Along with full-service breakfast, lunch and dinner so guests can relax and admire the scenery instead of standing in a buffet line.

Memories are made here.

Every journey onboard Majestic America Line is an unforgettable American experience. Expert onboard historians, lecturers and naturalists capture the wonder of a falling star, reveal the mystery of Mark Twain's white suit, captivate with tales of Sacagawea's bravery. Shore excursions take travelers into the past, the present, the future-from the log fort where the Corps of Discovery spent the damp and shivery winter of 1805 to Nottoway Plantation in Baton Rouge, where a belle named Emily Jane kept Union troops at bay with only a dagger.
