NEW ORLEANS, LA. - (February 1, 2006) - The Delta Queen Steamboat Company will operate two steamboats during the 2006 season, with the legendary Delta Queen and the magnificent Mississippi Queen steaming on the inland rivers of America.

Both boats will return to service in April 2006. The first cruise of the season will be a 7-night cruise aboard the Delta Queen, and begins in Baton Rouge, La. on April 21 with visits to Oak Alley Plantation and St. Francisville; Natchez and Vicksburg, Miss., Helena, Ark., with arrival in Memphis, Tenn. on April 28.
The Mississippi Queen, celebrating 30 years on the inland rivers in 2006, begins her season on April 23, with a 7-night Memphis round trip "Quilting on the River" cruise that visits New Madrid, Mo. and spends 3 days docked at the annual Quilting Convention in Paducah, Ky., where passengers can enjoy the many quilting exhibits and workshops held during this event, and return to their floating hotel each evening for dinner and our onboard entertainment.
