Dear Vacations To Go Customer,
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, river cruises around the world
shut down back in March. River cruise companies in the U.S. hope to
restart operations this summer, and we will let you know as soon as they
are operating again.
In the meantime, American Queen Steamboat Company has released
its itineraries, dates and rates for 2021. The company's elegant, modern
paddlewheelers cruise the Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland
rivers in America's heartland and the Columbia and Snake rivers in the
Pacific Northwest. New for next year are Illinois River voyages and The
Queen's Collection, a group of thoughtfully planned cruises that
highlight special experiences.
Right now, our customers can
save up to $3,000 per stateroom
on 2021 cruises with American Queen Steamboat Company.
Cruise fares for 2021 dates include a pre-voyage hotel night, superb
cuisine, world-class entertainment, comprehensive Hop-On Hop-Off shore
excursions, onboard enrichment programs, select wine and beer with
dinner, 24-hour room service, Wi-Fi service and unlimited soft drinks
and specialty coffees throughout the trip.
The 245-passenger
American Countess
will embark on
new cruises along the Illinois River
in September 2021. Tour the historical site of Lincoln's New Salem in
Havana, amble among butterfly gardens and elegant boutiques in Ottawa
and explore Peoria's bustling art and culture scene. The American
Countess also cruises the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee
rivers.
American Queen Steamboat Company will also introduce
The Queen's Collection
in 2021. These sailings pair lively onboard events with exclusive shore
excursions. Play at four prestigious golf courses along the lower
Mississippi on an
American River Golf Classic,
celebrate Independence Day and enjoy a performance from American
musician Lee Greenwood on a
Star-Spangled Cruise
or visit the National Quilt Museum and Discovery Park of America on
The Art of Discovery.
Victory Cruise Lines is the sister company of American Queen
Steamboat Company, and its 202-passenger ships are designed for
discovery cruising. They navigate inland harbors, secluded bays and
remote ports that larger ships can't reach in destinations like the
Great Lakes, Canada and New England, the Southeastern United States and
Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
In 2021, the company will explore the spectacular landscapes and
wildlife of Alaska on the new 200-passenger
Ocean Victory,
built for cruising this pristine region. To see all departures for

Victory Cruise Lines' fares include shore excursions, enrichment
programs, evening entertainment, onboard meals, afternoon tea, a daily
cocktail hour, non-premium beer, wine and spirits, coffee and soft
drinks and Wi-Fi, as well as a pre-cruise hotel night in each
embarkation city.
