Queen of the Mississippi (2017 ship) explained
Queen of the Mississippi is an overnight
riverboat being built by
American Cruise Lines (ACL) at
Chesapeake Shipbuilding in
Salisbury, Maryland for overnight river cruising on the
Mississippi,
Ohio,
Tennessee, and
Cumberland rivers in the United States. This riverboat was announced to assume the
Queen of the Mississippi name after the
previous ship was repositioned to the
Columbia River and renamed in early 2016.
[1] However, the
American Eagle quietly assumed the name in 2016 without clarification of whether this vessel will become
Queen of the Mississippi in 2017 or sail under a different name.
