Imagine traveling along the famous Mississippi River and back through time to the Civil War era, exploring historical plantations and battlefields, before moving on to the hometown of legendary author Mark Twain; docking in historic New England harbors among beautiful sandy beaches, immersing yourself in maritime culture; cruising through Alaska’s Inside Passage, watching a group of bald eagles gliding into a breathtaking sunset; or sailing through the Southeast, stepping back into the time of the Revolutionary War as you visit living history museums and historical cities. All of these and much, much more are possibilities with American Cruise Lines, whose fleet of 19 intimate ships sail the Mississippi River, Columbia & Snake Rivers, New England, Alaska, the Southeast, National Parks, Puget Sound, and other famous destinations.
