QUEEN of the WEST


The QUEEN OF THE WEST riverboat was built in 1995 at Nichols Bros. Boat Builders for the American West Steamboat Company for overnight river cruising on the Columbia & Snake Rivers. She is currently owned and operated by American Cruise Lines. The ship has 67 cabins spread over 4 decks.

QUEEN OF THE WEST is designed to hull dimensions and paddlewheel configuration of the sternwheeler Portland, which was built in 1947 at Nichols Marine Iron Works, Portland, Oregon. The steam whistles come from an unknown steamer of the 1800s. The helm wheel was the original early-1900s wheel from the Seattle fireboat Duwamish.

When launched, QUEEN OF THE WEST was the first paddle wheeler to sail the Columbia River in 85 years.

This primarily wood model of the QUEEN OF THE WEST is built per commission only. We require only a small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start the process. The remaining balance won't be due until the boat is completed. Please send us an email for a quote for a size of your choice.
