For the 1854 sidewheel steamer, see USS Queen of the West. Not to be confused with Queen Mother of the West.

Queen of the West is a stern-driven paddle wheel riverboat originally built in 1995 at Nichols Bros. Boat Builders for the American West Steamboat Company[1] for overnight river cruising on the Columbia & Snake Rivers within the United States. She is currently owned and operated by American Cruise Lines. The Queen of the West originally carried up to 167 passengers,[1] but now carries 120 following her 2011 refurbishment for ACL. The ship has 67 cabins spread over 4 decks.[3]

On August 4, 2015, ACL announced that Queen of the West would be joined by her 150 passenger sister ship, American Pride, on the Columbia in early 2016.[4]
