About American Cruise Line
American Cruise Lines boasts the country's largest and most modern fleet of coastal ships and river vessels, including four extraordinary paddlewheelers inspired by the legendary steamboats of the 19th century. All told, American Cruise Lines visits nearly thirty U.S. states; passengers can choose from thirty-five one-of-a-kind itineraries including sailings along the Mississippi, the Ohio, and other great American rivers. Additionally, American Cruise Lines offers voyages throughout Alaska, New England, the Pacific Northwest, the Mid-Atlantic, and Florida. A wide variety of unique themed cruises – wine and cuisine, literary and historical, holidays, music, and others – are also available throughout the year. While onboard, passengers are treated to highly personalized service and a shipboard experience that's unabashedly red, white, and blue: every ship in the American Cruise Lines fleet was purpose-built right here in the U.S.A., and all of them are U.S.-flagged and crewed. As you make your way from harbor to harbor, you'll enjoy the very best of traditional American cuisine and culture, and the onboard experts and lecturers that sail with you – a.k.a. the cruise line's "Riverlorians" – will help ensure that you're ready to make the most of your journey
