The Mississippi Queen riverboat is modeled after the grand steamboats of the past and is adorned with genuine turn-of-the-century decor. Mississippi Queen cruises traverse the Mississippi River through the Old South and America's Heartland and along Wilderness rivers. Above the Grand Staircase on the Mississippi Queen, look for the trompe l'oeil ceiling of cherubs cavorting in clouds. The Upper Paddlewheel Lounge on the Mississippi Queen riverboat has Victorian-style couches and overstuffed chairs that make for a comfortable place to relax and view the passing scenery. On the Observation Deck of the Mississippi Queen riverboat, the Grand Saloon is a gathering place for onboard activities by day, and a showroom and ballroom for entertainment at night, and the Golden Antlers Bar is a lounge with game tables and floor-to-ceiling windows. On your Mississippi Queen cruise, you can work out in the exercise room, take a dip in the bathing pool, watch a film in the movie theater and catch up on your reading in the library. Staterooms on the Mississippi Queen are named after Civil War battles, river towns and old-fashioned riverboats and many have antique furnishings.
