The Delta Queen no longer sails on the great rivers and now is docked in Chattanooga Tenn. She is directly across the river from the Chattanooga Aquarium and marina on the Tenn. River. When we were there it seemed like the thing to do was to spend a night on the "Queen"! JoAnn in the foreground.
This is the deck outside our room..Our friend Karen who was traveling with us is seated with me as JoAnn snaps a picture.
JoAnn and me in the main lobby / parlor of the boat. In her day the Queen was very elegant and still displays the many fine appointments of a grand lady of the past. Most paddle wheelers met their fate from groundings and fire and the Delta Queen no longer can take trips due to the risk of fire.
Lounge area outside our room.
State rooms are small but larger than the "Great Escape". The bed was quite comfy and had great view out the windows. Could imagine what it would have been like to wake up some where on the Mississippi and look out at the scenery go by.
Our bath adjoining our room was small but again bigger than on our boat.
Stairway leading down to the lower level and the grand ballroom and dinning room.
The boat was not full of guests, but we enjoyed a nice breakfast.
In spite of all the history there is a risk she will be sold to a firm that wants to scrap her for profit.
We enjoyed our night on the Queen and would recommend it to you while she is still afloat.
