The Most Unique Getaway In Northern California You’ll Want To Experience ASAP

Northern California has amazing and unique hotels and restaurants, but there is nothing else like this incredible old riverboat that serves as both. The Delta King in Old Town Sacramento is a beautiful old vessel with modern hotel lodgings, fine dining, entertainment, and more.

The Delta King is a unique blend of old and new. Guests get to take advantage of modern amenities while delighting in the old fashioned charm. It is located in Sacramento’s vibrant Old Town region.

The historic paddleboat is quite a sight. It's easily recognized on the water of the Sacramento River by the stark white color that contrasts nicely with the cherry red of the paddle wheel.

The Delta King is an authentic 285-foot riverboat that was originally built in Glasgow, Scotland and Stockton, California. The King and her identical twin, the Delta Queen, were christened on May 20, 1927, and began their daily river voyages in June of that year.

Known as the "Delta Monarchs," the two vessels traveled between San Francisco and Sacramento from 1927 to 1940.

The Delta King is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was derelict and on its way to the junkyard when the Coyne family bought it in the 1980s.

They restored it to its former glory for future generations to enjoy.

This room is in the Captain's Quarters. Isn't it luxurious?

You don't need to be a guest there to enjoy the two restaurants on board.

The Delta Bar and Grill offers a casual dining experience, while the Pilothouse is a fine dining culinary delight.

The lovely interior is quite impressive. You will be delighted and amazed by the old fashioned beauty as you dine.

The opportunities for entertainment are endless. There is even a theater and live music on board.

With its location near down town Sacramento, this experience is really the best way to experience the beauty of the California state capital up close and personal. There's a ton of history in this area, and it's definitely worth checking out.

Going for a meal or staying overnight on the Delta King is really a one of a kind experience, and you will find the accommodations quite comfortable.
