American Queen Voyages™

We are saddened to share that American Queen Voyages (AQV) has made the difficult decision to shut down. The overnight cruise industry was especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related changes in travel preferences. Despite great efforts by our team, Crew and partners, demand has not recovered, and AQV has become financially unsustainable.We are deeply proud of our Crew and the outstanding travel experiences and service we have provided to our guests. As we reflect on our journey, we are filled with gratitude for the privilege of serving our guests, partners and agents and for being part of our incredible local communities. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives.Effective immediately, all future AQV cruises have been cancelled. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this decision causes, and guests should expect to have their cruise deposits refunded in full. Additional information is available at www.AQVinfo.com. Refund information is available at https://lnkd.in/e3bg2Bcp

Our wine themed cruises offer a sensory escape into the vast world of wine. Wine Enthusiast: "Guests can book a tour that explores the Red Mountain AVA and meet the Williams family while sipping their robust and vibrant selections at their Kiona Vineyards and Winery just outside Richland, Washington. Later, they can pop into the nearby Terra Blanca Winery & Estate Vineyard for a behind-the-scenes tour of the winemaking process, followed by a tasting with owners Keith and ReNae Pilgrim."

The Atlanta Journal Constitution: "But it was bourbon that was the star of this cruise. From the Muth’s bourbon ball on my pillow the first night to the final Boulevardier (bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth) cocktail in St. Louis, this was destined to be a week of indulging in Kentucky’s favorite elixir."

Angela Composto sat down with Travelweek and shared what we are most proud of in 2023 and what we are looking forward to in 2024. “Our resolution for 2024 is rooted in a relentless pursuit of innovation. We are excited to introduce new and enhanced Experiential Voyages and special events cruises, offering guests a deeper exploration of the regions we sail. Beyond our established voyages – including wine cruises, bourbon cruises, Regina & Friends cruises and festive holidays on the river journeys – these new themes and special events voyages will offer immersion into niche interests. Some of these new offerings include Baseball Legends, Mardi Gras, Salmon Fest and multi-generational family cruises.” Cindy Sosroutomo Read the article: ://https://lnkd.in/eZgWX6Zq #AmericanQueenVoyages #DiscoveryRunsDeep #AQVoyages #AQV
