Lower Mississippi River Cruise
About New Orleans, Louisiana
Wrap yourself in a cozy world of enchantments next holiday season, as you savor the all-inclusive amenities of an authentic paddlewheel riverboat. Broaden your perspectives as you sit in on historical lectures, or while in port, explore quaint river towns transformed into a holiday wonderland. Best of all, spend the holidays sharing and giving the most precious gift of all – quality time with your loved ones, forging memories that will forever grace your heart.
From handcrafted ornaments to yuletide delights, this cruise offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local holiday traditions. In Natchez, special holiday markets have been created especially for American Queen Voyages. You can stroll through craft stalls for a gift or treats to enjoy back on board. Nottoway Resort will light bonfires on the riverbank as a festive send-off. Giving Trees at different ports will help local charities. Hanukkah will also be observed so guests can enjoy traditional treats, including homemade latkes (fried potato pancakes).
