All-Inclusive River Cruises
On all our 50+ itineraries, we offer our guests an all-inclusive, value-added travel experience to the best destinations in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, Mississippi River region, New England, and the Southeast. After boarding our fleet of new small coastal ships, American riverboats, and traditional paddlewheelers, you can relax, knowing all the following are included:
Fine Dining - All Meals and Alcohol Provided
While many cruise lines offer an all-inclusive package at a premium price, with American Cruise Lines, all meals, snacks, and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages are available 24/7, and included in your fare. We even host a daily complimentary evening cocktail hour with hors d’oeuvres and top shelf liquor.
Full Enrichment Package with Guest Speakers & Nightly Entertainment
Throughout your entire journey, a dedicated onboard expert provides engaging presentations and interactive discussions pertaining to the region in which you are traveling. He/she may even join guests for a meal or during onshore excursions. Every evening, there is live entertainment in one of the lounges, ranging from classical to jazz to bluegrass, rock & roll and more.
Onshore Excursions
Each of our small ships provides a genuine and customized exploration of areas inaccessible to large ships and crowds allowing us to explore in the most meaningful way possible. All of our Mississippi River, Columbia & Snake Rivers, and Alaska itineraries offer at least one complimentary Featured shore excursion in each port of call. Premium and Signature excursions are offered at an additional cost. Signature excursions are exclusive to very small groups of guests.
Tips, Gratuities, Port Charges & Fees
You never need to pull out your wallet to tip an onboard crew member. Be stress-free with no worry about hidden costs.
Pre-Cruise Hotel Stay & Transportation to Ship*
Many of our itineraries feature a complimentary hotel stay in the embarkation port as part of the fare, including luggage service and transportation to the ship. This makes for a stress-free start to the trip and eliminates most issues with delayed flights.
