American Queen Voyages has released a new American Queen video detailing the company’s 10-year history. Narrated by Founder and Chairman John Waggoner, the new American Queen video showcases the company’s early beginnings as a one-vessel cruise line with the acquisition of the American Queen, to the seven-vessel fleet that will be sailing this spring including the brand-new expedition ship Ocean Victory which will explore Alaska.

“It is amazing to look back at how far American Queen Voyages has come in such a short amount of time, today employing hundreds and introducing thousands of guests to communities up and down the rivers and even expanding to the Great Lakes, Mexico and Alaska,” shares John Waggoner, founder and chairman, American Queen Voyages. Here is that American Queen Video:

American Queen Voyages was formerly called American Queen Steamboat Company with U.S.-flagged, American Queen, the largest riverboat in the world in 2011. In April 2014, American Queen Voyages began serving the Pacific Northwest with the American Empress and added the American Duchess to the Mississippi and Ohio rivers in August 2017. In 2018, American Queen Voyages acquired Victory Cruise Lines, and later rebranded its two coastal boutique sister vessels to Ocean Voyager and Ocean Navigator operating in the Great Lakes, Southeast U.S.A. , Mexico and more. The newest and fourth boat to join the paddlewheel fleet was the American Countess,  which made her debut in March 2021 and sails the Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee rivers.

In May 2022, American Queen Voyages will begin offering expedition experiences in Alaska with Ocean Victory^™ and Ocean Discoverer^™ in 2023.
