Paddlewheeler Creole Queen

“The Mississippi and its paddle boats... evoked a similar atmosphere of romance, of long, song-filled voyages, high winds and lonely sunsets.” ― Qurratulain Hyder

One of our vessel's signature features are its towering smokestacks - two tall pillars rollin' on the river 🚢
