Make way for a new Queen

摘要

Over the course of the last year the steamboat market has been jolted back to life in the U.S., thanks, in part, to the resurrection of the 418 ft, 436-passenger American Queen, operated by the American Queen Steamboat Company, Memphis, TN. But beginning this month, a new Queen rows into town, gracing the Mississippi with its presence. That's because Connecticut-headquartered American Cruise Lines' (ACL) newest riverboat, the 295 ft, 150-passen-ger Queen of the Mississippi is now performing cruising operations on America's most renowned inland waterway.
