Faith Afloat with American Cruise Lines

04/26/2025

In case you thought that we dock where the big ships form a flotilla... nope! A quick site visit to the beautiful American Constitution filled my morning. She's the first ship I visited when I started with ACL in 2019... and now she looks better than ever!

I love it when our partners make me feel so welcome!

When the conference is in the Crescent City: Jackson Square at the golden hour, beignets and coffee for dinner, beads, and ballrooms. Unfortunately, we didn't have a ship in port... they're all in the midst of taking our guests on fabulous adventures on the Mississippi, Tennessee, Cumberland, and Ohio rivers!

What it looks (and sounds!) like when the conference is in The Big Easy. Still pics to follow, since FB outlaws sharing videos and photos in one post on this page...

It's CSR season! Join us on the beautiful Columbia and Snake Rivers, where you'll see spectacular scenery, from high desert to Pacific Northwest rainforest, traverse *eight* locks, explore the trail of Lewis and Clark, and marvel at waterfalls and a volcano, all while enjoying the comfort and camaraderie of America's finest small ship cruising experience. You can even add an exhilarating day jetboating Hell's Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America!

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of escorting a small group of travel advisors on our Historic Mississippi itinerary, aboard the beautiful American Melody. After a night at the Intercontinental, we sailed six nights on the Lower Mississippi, roundtrip New Orleans, enjoying not only a culinary- and wine-themed trip (complete with an accomplished sommelier!), but many new and engaging excursions in each port along the way. From learning to make delicious jambalaya in a Cajun village to a ranch adventure featuring axe throwing and mud-splashing ATV rides to the elegance and ghost encounters of The Myrtles, much fun was had, history was learned, and many pictures were taken. There's nothing like experiencing it yourself to make you a believer... come aboard and find out!

We're back at it, sharing the history and beauty of the mighty Mississippi with our wonderful guests! What's more, I'm on a personal countdown to next Thursday, when I arrive in New Orleans to enjoy a pre-night in the Big Easy, then a fabulous, six-night sailing, round trip NOLA. I'll be joined by a small group of travel pros who want to learn more about exploring the USA the ACL way, aboard the gorgeous American Melody!

The 2024 Mississippi River Season has begun 🎉

*ALERT* A quick reassurance to anyone in the greater Sacramento area who may have been listening to the Travel Guys radio show on KFBK: though the host referenced "the nation's largest river cruise line", which is American Cruise Lines, he was in fact, talking about AQ Voyages (formerly known as American Queen Steamboat Company) NOT American Cruise Lines. Unfortunately, AQV is canceling cruises and experiencing operational difficulties, including the travel trade largely having put the product on a "stop sell" status. American Cruise Lines is stable, financially sound, and growing our offerings, not canceling them. Rest assured that travel with us remains the excellent experience we are proud to provide, and with 19 ships in the water, more being built, and 50+ itineraries across the US, we would love to welcome you aboard!

Did you know? Pearl Seas Cruises is American Cruise Lines' sibling! Separate only because she can make international ports of call, the experience aboard the beautiful Pearl Mist echoes the high standards guests have come to expect when sailing with us. Get to know more of the family when you explore the Canadian Maritimes, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the gorgeous Great Lakes with Pearl Seas! This Great Lakes & Georgian Bay sailing is on my personal wish list...

We've christened the second in our groundbreaking (wavebreaking?) new class of Coastal Cat vessels! The beautiful American Glory joins her sister, American Eagle, going where other ships simply cannot. The first two in a fleet of a *dozen*, these intimate ships are purpose-built to explore America's special, small harbors while carrying just 100 guests in comfort and simple sophistication.

So excited to welcome American Glory to the family🍾
