The largest paddlewheel steamboat ever built, American Queen (pictured), as well as American Duchess, American Countess and American Empress will change hands as part of the Chapter 11 process for AQV parent Hornblower Group.
In a statement, American Cruise Lines said: “American Cruise Lines is pleased to be the successful bidder for AQV’s river vessels.
“We look forward to announcing additional details after this portion of the Hornblower Holdings bankruptcy process concludes.”
The future ownership of AQV’s two coastal vessels – Ocean Voyager and Ocean Navigator – is pending following their 1 April auction.
