Mississippi Queen not back until 2009

We're just listening to the replay of an investors reltions webcast of Ambassadors and one of the big news from there is:

The Mississippi Queen most likely won't come back in 2008, but in 2009. According to Ambassadors International President Ueberroth and Majestic America Line Preseident David Giersdorf management will decide within the next few weeks whether to bring out the MQ in 2008.

Later in the conference call Mr. Ueberroth said that the MQ will replace the capacity of the then missing Delta Queen in 2009.

Also probably not running in 2008 is the Contessa in Alaska, so Majestic America Line will have out 5 boats in 2008: American Queen, Delta Queen, Empress of the North, Queen of the West and Columbia Queen.
