American Cruise Lines' newest paddlewheeler, America, has made her maiden voyage with a seven-day New Orleans roundtrip cruise that made its northernmost stop in Vicksburg.

The Vicksburg Post reports that the boat made the voyage this week and that it will be in Vicksburg once a week for the majority of the year.

America is designed with traditional Victorian-style accents and blends tradition with modern features and amenities.

While the new ship is adorned with gleaming woodwork, brass fixtures, and historic decor, it is constructed with the latest in cruise ship technology.

The paddlewheeler has seven lounges across its five decks and offers seven-, 14- and 21-day cruises.
