With an interior reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century paddlewheel riverboat, the Empress Hornblower delivers a classical elegance. She provides the amenities of a luxurious banquet room with chandeliers, mahogany bars and dance floors. Like all royalty, this lady can handle black tie events but she is versatile enough to handle something a little more off beat like a Mariachi band and limbo contest on her expansive sundeck. The main deck seats 80 to 100 guests for dinner while the upper deck accommodates 60 to 70 guests.
