The New Orleans-based Delta Queen Steamboat Company, which some feared was another victim of Hurricane Katrina, announced future plans for continued operations.
Two of the lines’ steamboats are operating their regularly scheduled Fall Foliage cruises on the Upper Mississippi, Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. These cruises will continue through November.
The American Queen is involved in relief operations.
The company says:
- The Delta Queen will resume her scheduled service next year in April from Baton Rouge.
- The Mississippi Queen will resume service from Memphis next April.
- The American Queen will return to regular service 31 of May with her first cruise departing from Baton Rouge.
“All three boats are expected to continue to be used via private and government charters in the Gulf Coast region in support of the hurricane relief effort during the remaining winter period,” the company says.
The cruise line is operating out of an office in Memphis.
