Description

American Heritage, built in 2015, offers an authentic paddleboat experience with all the comforts of home. You can experience breathtaking scenery from your cabin as American Heritage makes its way down the legendary Mississippi river. Featuring spacious cabins with private balconies, hotel-style bathrooms, free Wi-Fi and room service. The aft-mounted paddlewheel is driven by a hydraulic motor, powered by diesel engines.
This is augmented by two Z-drive units to provide increased cruising speed and improved maneuverability. On board, in addition to the restaurant and several lounges, there is also an equipped sundeck and a putting green.
