4 Night Cruise sailing from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati aboard American Queen.

Ohio & Tennessee Rivers Cruises:
By any measure, the Ohio River is no mere tributary to the Mississippi, but a mighty river itself. Coursing nearly 1,000 miles with a watershed encompassing 14 states, the Ohio opened up America's movement West. Here too are the great Wilderness Rivers coursing through Bluegrass country, conjuring up tales of Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and raids by Cherokee and Chickamauga tribes. From small towns crowned by church steeples to big city thrills like the Grand Ole Opry® and Churchill Downs, adventure awaits by the mile.

Music of the Rivers
The Mighty Mississippi River has also been referred to as the River of Song and the rich musical heritage of the cities along the way back up that label. Blues, jazz, folk songs and drum songs were all created and recreated along its banks. Join us as we travel from New Orleans and St. Louis on what may be the most musical river in the world!
