With all five Mississippi riverboats ready to cruise the Lower Mississippi, the company is not just stopping there. Plans for extensive expansion are in the air, with new riverboats set to explore the Mississippi tributaries, Tennessee, Ohio, and Cumberland Rivers. The 2024 season is more than just a series of cruises; it’s an exploration of the diverse landscapes and histories that the United States has to offer.
The excitement peaks in May with the introduction of innovative experiences like the first Great Smoky Mountains National Parks cruises. This exclusive 12-day itinerary invites guests to traverse the scenic beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, cruising from Knoxville, TN, to Nashville, TN, along the Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers. Additionally, a 35-Day Civil War Battlefields cruise promises a deep dive into history, navigating the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers while visiting over 20 Civil War Battlefields.
For those seeking the ultimate adventure, August brings the unveiling of the historic 61-Day Great United States cruise. This unprecedented journey explores the entire Mississippi River, 20 states, three national parks, and four rivers. From the East Coast to the Hudson River, this cruise visits iconic ports like New York City, Boston, and Bar Harbor, promising an unparalleled exploration of the United States.
American Cruise Lines’ commitment to expansion is evident in its burgeoning fleet, nearly tripling in size over the past five years. The announcement of five more ships, including new riverboats, signals a future of continued growth and exploration.
Beyond the excitement of new cruises and expanding fleets, American Cruise Lines remains a vital contributor to the communities it touches. The ongoing development along the Mississippi River has injected millions of dollars annually into ports and communities, fostering economic growth and cultural exchange.
As American Cruise Lines celebrates its 50-year tradition of exploring the USA, the 2024 season stands as a testament to the company’s dedication to providing unique and enriching experiences. From the mighty Mississippi to coastal waterways, American Cruise Lines invites guests to embark on a journey that not only delights but also supports the rich tapestry of American history, culture, and commerce.
