Dear Vacations To Go Customer,
American Queen Voyages has sailed the grand rivers of the U.S.
for more than a decade. The company features a collection of modern,
elegant ships that cruise the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Cumberland
and Illinois rivers in America's heartland and the Columbia and Snake
rivers in the Pacific Northwest.
Right now, Vacations to Go customers can take advantage of this
fantastic offer from the company:
Save up to $3,300 per couple
in certain cabin categories on sailings through 2024. Plus, receive up
to $550 per couple in free onboard credit.
Book by September
30.
The upfront price of a trip with American Queen Voyages covers a
pre-cruise hotel night, guided tours, gourmet cuisine, live onboard
entertainment, all-day room service, Wi-Fi and unlimited soft drinks and
specialty coffees. Choice spirits, wine and local craft beer are also
included in the fare, and new for this year, pre-paid service fees, port
charges and taxes are covered as well. A Riverlorian (an expert in the
region's history and cultures) accompanies all river sailings.
The line's river vessels resemble classic 19th-century paddlewheelers
with all the comforts of contemporary cruising. The
American Queen and
American Countess
cruise the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and the
American Empress
explores the scenic Columbia and Snake rivers. The American Queen is the
largest steamboat operating overnight cruises in the U.S.
American Queen Voyages' holiday cruises are especially enticing this
year. Enjoy a traditional feast of roasted turkey, sweet potatoes,
bourbon pecan pie and other classics on a
Thanksgiving
cruise or ring in the
New Year
with a gala dinner, champagne and dancing. Visit Christmas markets
decked in festive decor on
Holidays on the River
sailings and browse stalls for unique gifts, handcrafted goods and
delicious treats from local artisans and vendors.
The company also has a few new itineraries in 2024, each featuring
special experiences. Meet fellow baseball fans and celebrate the game's
rich history and traditions on
Baseball Legends,
or reel in the catch of the day and participate in onboard cooking
demonstrations on
Salmon Fest.
