THE 2021 CRUISE IS A GO

Login to the American Cruise Line Website and update travel documents.

Dear Guest, We are looking forward to welcoming you aboard and exploring our country with you. We have a fantastic itinerary planned for you, but you will notice some differences as you prepare for your cruise. As the Covid-19 pandemic is ongoing, we continue to update our operating protocol, and encourage you to review it here.   Your cruise will be operating at reduced capacity to ensure ample space for social distancing, and American Cruise Lines will be requiring a negative COVID-19 test result for all guests and crew within four days of the start of the cruise package. Masks are required onboard in all common spaces, as well as ashore for all excursion experiences. This helps ensure the safety of everyone traveling aboard the ship, as well as those welcoming us to each city we visit. We are also excited to share with you that shore excursions are also now available for booking. Each excursion will have safety protocols in place, while still providing a carefully planned and personalized experience. Each venue is screened for social distancing capability and sanitation practices, and in most cases, only minor changes were needed to ensure a safe exploration.  You may review and reserve your shore excursions in your cruise documents here:

About two weeks before your cruise we will also send you a Health Declaration Form that helps us mitigate risk and ensure guest and crew safety. If you have any other questions regarding your upcoming trip, our Customer Service Team will be readily available to assist you, and they may be reached at (800) 894-8570. Sincerely,

On U.S. rivers, two cruise lines aim to have their boats -- all with less than 250 passengers and crew -- sailing by early this summer. American Cruise Lines aims to return June 20, 2020 on the Columbia and Snake rivers in the Pacific Northwest, with American Song and on the Mississippi River on American Harmony, leaving June 28 from Memphis. American Queen Steamboat Company has also set a return date for the Columbia and Snake rivers, as well as the Mississippi River, in July.

American Cruise Lines Aims to Be First to Resume River Cruising in United States https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/5361/

 In the U.S., American Cruise Lines is voluntarily reducing the number of people on its ships, as well as allowing more time between cruises for sanitation. Dining changes have been made, with tables capped at a maximum of four and only being used once per night. Public washrooms will be closed, and people who have traveled internationally within 14 days will be denied boarding. (The size of ACL's ships -- all under 250 combined passengers and crew -- means they are not subject to CDC requirements under the current ban.)
