The luxurious Columbia Queen brings contemporary small-ship cruising to the rivers of the Northwest. This elegant vessel combines state-of-the-art propulsion and navigation systems with luxurious elements typical of much larger luxury vessels. Onboard are spacious public rooms filled with richly polished woodwork and plush seating, Tiffany & Co. chandeliers, and artwork inspired by the Pacific Northwest.

Each of the 75 spacious staterooms aboard the Columbia Queen is equipped with welcome modern guest amenities such as satellite TV/DVD players, ship-to-shore telephones and glass-enclosed showers. Many offer private verandahs or French balconies.

The elegant Astoria Room is the setting for a sumptuous breakfast or lunch and five-course dinners featuring sophisticated Northwest cuisine. After dinner, the space transforms into the Columbia Queen's showroom. In addition, the sunny, white-washed Back Porch provides round the clock coffee and Continental snacks throughout the day.

The Explorer Bar, a popular meeting place, paneled in mahogany and featuring a beautiful oak bar and baby-grand piano; the Lewis & Clark Lounge, offering a comfortable retreat for pre-dinner drinks and hors d'oeuvres; and the cozy Purser's Lobby.

Unique vessel:
Aboard the American Queen, you’ll find a comfortable warm ambiance characterized by polished woods and elegant furnishings. Large picture windows and generous decks bring the outside in, providing ever-changing views. The staterooms and suites – many with private verandahs – are generously proportioned and graced with modern amenities such as comfortable beds, premium linens, and plush towels. Artwork and antiques reflect the regions sailed, from fine collections of period antiques along the Missisissippi to Native America artwork and paintings of Northwest splendor.

Close-up cruising:
Because the ships are highly maneuverable and feature shallow drafts, they are able to explore intriguing places larger ships cannot reach. In Alaska, for instance, this opens up small inlets and narrow fjords to your access. Along the banks of rivers our ships can tuck in close for better views of wildlife, waterfalls, foliage and more, and even deploy their bow ramps to land guests easily ashore. Moreover, your captain has latitude when it comes to the day’s itinerary and can use his considerable experience and superior piloting skills to take you to the day’s best viewing options, depending on weather, wildlife migrations, and fall foliage shows.

Limited Guest List:
Built in America and operated by an American crew, our specially-crafted small ships are not designed to maximize “economies of scale” like the large, foreign-flag cruise liners. They’re designed to give you intimate access to exceptional destinations. Accordingly, you’ll find fewer guests on board: only 436 aboard our grandest ship, the flagship American Queen. As a result you’ll always find a peaceful corner on board, plenty of uncrowded view room up on deck, and no lines when it comes to touring, embarking and disembarking.

Friendly American crew:
Many of the repeat guests say that the friendly, all-American crew is the reason they return time and again. It’s easy to see why. When you walk up on deck in the morning, you’re greeted by name. Begin to feel thirsty – and a beverage magically appears. The staff smiles as they recommend a new wine choice, plump your pillow, or point out a passing sight. They're happy to be here. Just like you.

Fine Dining:
The menus are inspired by regional flavors and traditions. In Alaska, go for the salmon – it's fresh caught in local waters. Sample fried green tomatoes in New Orleans; rise and shine to oatbread in the heartland; uncork a wonderful Washington white at night.

Majestic America Line is working with notable American culinary experts to bring to life a fantastic new dining experience that celebrates the country’s distinct regional flavors. Northwest celebrity chef, author and consultant Kathy Casey, of Kathy Casey Food Studios, has created a line up of signature American dishes with a strong emphasis on utilizing local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. To complement the menu options, evenings begin with "Sara Moulton's American Cocktail Party,” a lively affair featuring uniquely American cocktails and hors d'oeuvres created by Food Network's Sara Moulton.

An eclectic selection of quality American wines will accompany the outstanding culinary fare. Discover distinctive wine choices from the country’s finest winemaking regions – from well known wineries to new labels from boutique vineyards. Every meal in the ships’ dining room will be an event with beautiful new table settings, including fine American artisan china and fresh seasonal floral arrangements inspired by regional landscapes.

Sophisticated entertainment:
Music, song, dance, celebration – these are long-standing traditions of river and coastal cruising. You can practically hear the ship coming down the river at night. Talented onboard entertainers take center stage in the ships’ showrooms after dinner. A jazzy house band offers live music during cocktail hour and for dancing at night. Broadway to blues, ragtime to rock 'n roll – it's hard to keep your toes from tapping when you're having this much fun.

Fascinating shore excursions:
Aboard a Majestic America Line cruise, each day finds you in another fascinating new place. Our shore excursions have been carefully selected to maximize your time in the area. You’ll find a guide or a motorcoach waiting as soon as you disembark. And then it’s off – to discover an imposing fort, a Civil War monument, stately Southern mansions or Alaskan fishing villages.
