Constructed in Moss Point, Mississippi, the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen took her maiden voyage on October 1, 1983. She is an authentic paddlewheeler powered by a 24 foot diameter paddlewheel and the most modern, fuel efficient GE diesel-electric system ever installed in a boat of this class. Even though the Creole Queen would have been right at home in the New Orleans of 1850, passengers of that era could never have conceived of a paddlewheeler with her luxury, comfort and safety. Ninety tons of air conditioning and heating keep the interior spaces pleasant all year round. Luxurious private rooms, stereo music and sound systems, modern restrooms and handicapped accessible facilities all combine to make the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen a true "floating palace."
The Creole Queen features outer decks with authentically patterned wrought iron trims inviting guests to stroll back in time as they settle into the mood of a bygone era. The interiors are richly appointed with plush Victorian style draperies, soft period lighting, wooden parquet dance floors, and Louisiana Cypress bars accented with brass railing for a warm and welcoming setting.
The Riverboat Cajun Queen Constructed in New Orleans, Louisiana and launched on June 1, 1987, the Riverboat Cajun Queen was built for speed and distance. She is an authentic replica of an old riverboat that provided passenger service along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts during the late 19th Century. Of course, the Cajun Queen provides every modern convenience... air-conditioned and heated luxurious private rooms, stereo music and sound systems, modern restrooms and handicapped accessible facilities.
